This is the no-frills version of the Jeita, Harissa & Byblos day trip — same three iconic destinations, same small group of maximum 12, but without the included lunch, and without the bundled tickets. The result is the most affordable way to visit these three sites from Beirut. Pay for exactly what you use on the day — nothing more.
Jeita Grotto, Harissa, and Byblos are three of the most searched and most visited destinations in Lebanon for good reason. Jeita is a UNESCO tentative World Heritage Site and New 7 Wonders of Nature finalist — 9 kilometres of limestone caves 30 minutes from Beirut. Harissa is 650 metres above the Mediterranean by cable car. Byblos has been continuously inhabited for over 7,000 years. These sites speak for themselves. This tour gets you to all three efficiently, comfortably, and at the most competitive price available on this route — with a knowledgeable English-speaking driver who covers the key facts and stories at each stop.
