Small Group Tour: Jeita Grotto, Harissa, Byblos with Hotel Pickup

Your driver meets the group at your Beirut hotel. Jeita Grotto is 30 minutes north — the day starts immediately.

Two cave systems that consistently rank as the highlight of any Lebanon trip. The upper cave on foot — stalactites and stalagmites up to 8 metres tall formed over millions of years. The lower cave by silent electric boat along an underground river through chambers of extraordinary stillness. Your driver covers the key facts about the caves at the entrance and exit — you explore at your own pace inside. Entrance fee payable on site. No photography inside. Lower cave may close during high water periods.

Board the Téléférique at Jounieh and ride to 650 metres above sea level — Jounieh Bay spreading below, the Lebanese mountains ahead. One of the most photographed views in Lebanon. Your driver shares the story of Harissa on the way up. Cable car ticket payable on site. Subject to weather conditions.

The 8.5-metre bronze statue of Our Lady of Lebanon — arms toward the Mediterranean, one of the most visited religious sites in the Middle East. The Maronite Basilica and neighbouring churches surround it. Panoramic views over the Lebanese coast from 650 metres. Revered by Christians and Muslims alike.

One of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on earth — the city whose Phoenician script gave the world its alphabet and whose name gave us the word Bible. The Crusader castle built from Phoenician and Roman stone. Neolithic foundations, Bronze Age temples, Phoenician royal tombs, and Roman streets all within the same site. Your driver covers the key historical facts at the entrance — you explore the site at your own pace.

Stone-paved lanes with jewellery workshops, antique dealers, and cafés — then down to the ancient fishing harbour. Medieval walls, colourful boats, open sea. Plenty of lunch options here at your own expense before the return to Beirut.

5:00–6:00 PM Drop-off at your Beirut hotel. Jeita Grotto, Harissa, and Byblos — Lebanon's three most iconic day-trip destinations, at the most competitive price on this route.
