Beirut

9:00 AM — Departure from Beirut Your professional guide and driver collect you from your Beirut hotel and head north through the Dog River valley — its canyon walls carved with inscriptions left by Egyptian pharaohs, Assyrian kings, and Roman emperors — your guide already narrating the story of Lebanon before the first stop even begins.

Jeita Grotto

Step into one of the most spectacular cave systems on earth — a UNESCO tentative World Heritage Site and a top-five finalist in the New 7 Wonders of Nature. Two interconnected limestone caves stretch 9 kilometres beneath the Lebanese mountains — the upper cave explored on foot through an elevated walkway where stalactites and stalagmites up to 8 metres tall hang and rise in formations built over millions of years. The lower cave is navigated by silent electric boat along an underground river, gliding through chambers where the geology becomes almost impossibly beautiful. Your guide explains the millions of years of geological history behind every formation you pass — turning a spectacular visual experience into a genuinely educational one that no self-guided visit can replicate.
