Overview
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
1h 30m · Admission ticket not included
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.
20m · Admission ticket not included
Harissa cable car — from sea level to 650 metres
Board the Téléférique at Jounieh seafront — the transition from underground to above the clouds in a single morning. Ride up to 650 metres as Jounieh Bay opens dramatically below — one of the most photographed aerial views in Lebanon. The ascent is the experience. Your driver points out the coastal geography and the story of Harissa as you prepare to disembark.
The Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon
30m
Our Lady of Lebanon — Lebanon's defining mountaintop landmark
The 8.5-metre bronze statue of Our Lady of Lebanon stands with arms outstretched toward the Mediterranean — one of the most visited and most recognisable religious monuments in the Middle East, surrounded by the Maronite Basilica and neighbouring churches. Panoramic views over the entire Lebanese coast and mountains from 650 metres. Revered by Christians and Muslims alike. Your driver covers the history and significance of Harissa within Lebanese religious and national identity.
