Mobile ticket
Three underground worlds — one extraordinary private day from Beirut. Begin beneath the earth at Jeita Grotto, where limestone formations built over millions of years create one of the most spectacular cave systems in the world. Cross the Lebanese mountains into the Bekaa Valley and stand inside Baalbek — the greatest Roman temple complex on earth, built on stones heavier than anything a modern crane can lift. End the day in the ancient tunnels beneath Chateau Ksara — 2 kilometres of Roman cave cellars where Lebanon's oldest winery has been ageing wine since 1857.
Natural caves. Roman temples. Ancient wine cellars. Three completely different encounters with the underground world of Lebanon — with a professional guide bringing every stop fully to life.

What To Expect
Beirut
8:30 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 — toward Jeita Grotto.
Jeita Grotto
The day begins beneath the earth. Jeita Grotto is a UNESCO tentative World Heritage Site and a top-five finalist in the New 7 Wonders of Nature — two interconnected limestone caves stretching 9 kilometres beneath the Lebanese mountains. The upper cave is explored on foot through an elevated walkway where stalactites and stalagmites up to 8 metres tall hang and rise in formations of extraordinary beauty, built over millions of years. The lower cave is navigated by silent electric boat along an underground river through chambers where the silence feels complete and the formations seem almost deliberately sculpted. Your guide explains the geology behind every formation you pass — turning one of Lebanon's greatest natural wonders into something you genuinely understand as well as experience.

5.00Hassan the tour guide was very professional, on-time, and knowledgeable too. Bookings through Hussein was prompt, informative, and also accommodating to changes in my schedule. Baaalbek was truly a spectacular place and worth the long drive from Beirut. Would love to go on tours with Lebanon Tours and Travels again next time I visit the country!

5.00I strongly recommend this tour company. You can easily book trough the WhatsApp number +961 70 809 737 Excellent, helpful, kind and fair. We did Jeita grotto, harissa and byblos in one day and Baalbeck, anjar and ksara on the other, and we couldn’t be more happier with our wonderful guide.

5.00We booked 2 days of tours (Jeita, Baalbek, Ksara and Cedars, Qadisha, Byblos) and after the first day we realized there had been a misunderstanding and it wasn’t what we were expecting. The owner Mr Hussain went out of his way to rectify things and made it up to us — which he was not expected to do. He went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. I’ve never, in all my years of traveling and touring, experienced this level of customer service. Our second day was spectacular. Our guide was Kamel and he was lovely. Thanks for the memories!
well spent day in Beirut!

5.00We decided to take the tour very last minute and the head office organized everything without any delays. Our driver Ahmad, was on time the next morning for the pickup and we right away started the tour. He was very knowledgeable about the country and the ride was very pleasant. In Baalbek he took us to an amazing food place with authentic food. Overall, the whole day was a great journey which I would recommend to anyone visiting Beirut!!
Excellent trip
