Overview
Two of Lebanon's most wonderful and most visited attractions — one comfortable half-day from Beirut. This private tour is perfect for families, first-time visitors, and anyone who wants to experience the very best of Lebanese nature and mountain beauty without spending a full day away from the city.
Begin underground at Jeita Grotto — a UNESCO tentative World Heritage Site and one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature finalists, where extraordinary limestone caves take your breath away. Then rise 650 metres above the Mediterranean by cable car to the beautiful mountaintop shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon at Harissa — one of Lebanon's most iconic and most cherished landmarks. With an optional lunch stop in Jounieh on the waterfront below, you will be back at your hotel comfortably by early afternoon with the rest of the day free.

Jeita Grotto
1h 30m · Admission ticket not included
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.

Harissa cable car — a wonderful ride above Jounieh Bay
From underground to above the clouds — board the famous Harissa Téléférique at the Jounieh seafront and ride comfortably up to 650 metres above sea level. As the cable car ascends, Jounieh Bay spreads beautifully beneath you and the Lebanese mountain ranges rise ahead — the views are genuinely spectacular and the ride itself is a thoroughly enjoyable experience for the whole family. One of the most popular and most photographed experiences in Lebanon.
The Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon
30m
Our Lady of Lebanon — a beautiful and uplifting mountaintop shrine
At the mountaintop, the beautiful bronze statue of Our Lady of Lebanon stands with arms outstretched toward the Mediterranean — 8.5 metres tall and one of the most recognisable religious monuments in the Middle East. Surrounded by the lovely Maronite Basilica and neighbouring churches, Harissa is one of Lebanon's most visited and most cherished pilgrimage destinations — a place of real beauty and tranquility that moves visitors of all faiths and backgrounds. The panoramic views over the Lebanese coast from up here are simply magnificent.
Jounieh
1h
Lunch in Jounieh — optional waterfront stop
After descending from Harissa, Jounieh's beautiful Mediterranean waterfront is right at your feet — a lively seafront lined with welcoming restaurants serving fresh Lebanese mezze and seafood with wonderful views over the bay you just rode above. A lovely and relaxed optional finale before the short drive back to Beirut.
