Knowledgeable English-speaking driver. Whole afternoon free.
Jeita Grotto is a UNESCO tentative World Heritage Site and New 7 Wonders of Nature finalist — 9 kilometres of limestone cave system 30 minutes from your hotel, with some of the most extraordinary stalactite and stalagmite formations on earth.

1Jeita Grotto
Jeita Grotto — New 7 Wonders finalist · UNESCO tentative site Two cave systems that consistently top Lebanon's must-visit lists. The upper cave on foot — stalactites and stalagmites up to 8 metres tall, formed over millions of years into formations that photographs simply do not do justice. The lower cave by silent electric boat along an underground river — a stillness and scale that has to be experienced to be understood. Your driver covers the key geological facts at the entrance. You explore at your own pace inside — no group schedule, no rushing. Entrance fee payable on site. Photography not permitted inside. Lower cave boat ride may close during high water seasons.
