Lebanon's most spectacular natural wonder and its most iconic mountaintop shrine — one private half-day from Beirut, back by early afternoon. Jeita Grotto is a UNESCO tentative World Heritage Site and one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature finalists — 9 kilometres of limestone cave system with formations of extraordinary scale and beauty that took millions of years to create. Harissa is 650 metres above the Mediterranean, reached by cable car, crowned by the bronze statue of Our Lady of Lebanon — one of the most recognisable religious monuments in the Middle East.
Underground to mountaintop — two of Lebanon's defining experiences in five hours. Private vehicle and knowledgeable local driver exclusively for your group. Entrance tickets payable on site.

Jeita Grotto
Jeita Grotto — UNESCO tentative site · New 7 Wonders finalist Two cave systems, two completely different experiences. The upper cave on foot — an elevated walkway through stalactites and stalagmites up to 8 metres tall, formed over millions of years into formations of extraordinary natural scale and beauty. The lower cave by silent electric boat — gliding along an underground river through chambers where the stillness is total and the scale is overwhelming. One of the most spectacular natural experiences in the Middle East — and 30 minutes from Beirut. Your driver covers the geological story of the caves as you exit.

I truly recommend this tour. The car was very comfortable and our driver was knowledgeable and very friendly and the cave was amazing.
