This is one of Lebanon's most popular and most loved day tours — and it is easy to understand why. In one comfortable private day from Beirut, you will experience the country's most spectacular natural wonder, its most iconic mountaintop shrine, and one of the oldest cities on earth.
Begin with a brief stop at the Dog River canyon — where cliff faces have been carved with inscriptions by Egyptian pharaohs and Roman emperors for over 3,000 years. Then enter Jeita Grotto — a UNESCO tentative World Heritage Site and New 7 Wonders of Nature finalist. Rise to Harissa by cable car, 650 metres above the Mediterranean. End the day in Byblos — inhabited for over 7,000 years — with a Crusader castle, ancient ruins, and a charming old souk. Your knowledgeable driver makes every stop enjoyable and memorable for the whole family.

What To Expect
Beirut
9:00 AM — Pickup from your Beirut hotel Your friendly driver meets you at your hotel and heads north along the coastal highway — the first stop is just 20 minutes away at the Dog River canyon.
Dog River — 3,000 years of history on one cliff face A fascinating brief stop at the Dog River canyon — where the limestone cliff walls have served as a remarkable living record of history for over three millennia. Egyptian Pharaoh Ramesses II carved his victory inscription here in 1274 BC. Assyrian kings, Roman emperors, French generals, and the modern Lebanese Republic all followed — each leaving their mark on the same cliff face that has been recording the passage of civilisations since before the birth of Christ. Your driver points out the key inscriptions and explains the remarkable story behind this unique and easily overlooked treasure.
