Jeita Grotto
Jeita Grotto — Lebanon's most spectacular natural wonder Enter one of Lebanon's most treasured natural wonders — Jeita Grotto, a UNESCO tentative World Heritage Site and a top-five finalist in the New 7 Wonders of Nature. Two wonderfully different cave experiences await. The upper cave is explored on foot along an elevated walkway — stalactites and stalagmites up to 8 metres tall surround you in every direction, formed over millions of years into formations of extraordinary natural beauty. The lower cave is navigated by silent electric boat along an underground river, gliding through chambers of breathtaking stillness that visitors of all ages find genuinely magical. One of the most memorable natural experiences in the entire Middle East — and just 30 minutes from Beirut.
