What's the itinerary?+
• 8:30 AM — Hotel pickup The guide will meet you at your hotel in Beirut. The first destination, Jeita Grotto, is located 30 minutes to the north, and the day begins promptly. • Jeita Grotto — New 7 Wonders finalist · UNESCO tentative site This site consists of two cave systems, which many visitors consider the highlight of their Lebanon trip. The upper cave features stalactites and stalagmites reaching up to 8 meters tall, shaped over millennia by water. The lower cave can be explored via a silent electric boat along an underground river, offering a level of tranquility and scale that photographs cannot fully convey. The site is situated thirty minutes from Beirut, with no comparable location in the area. • Harissa cable car — Jounieh Bay from 650 metres Climb aboard the Téléférique at Jounieh and ascend to 650 meters above sea level, overlooking Jounieh Bay and the Lebanese mountains. The scenic views during the ride are a major draw for returning visitors. The guide will highlight coastal landmarks along the route. • Our Lady of Lebanon — the shrine that defines the skyline The 8.5-meter bronze statue of Our Lady of Lebanon, with arms raised towards the Mediterranean, is visible from the coastline below. It is among the most frequented religious sites in the Middle East and holds significance for both Christians and Muslims. The surrounding Maronite Basilica adds to its importance. The guide will explain Harissa's role in Lebanese identity, transcending just its religious aspects. • Byblos — 7,000 years of continuous settlement Proceed to Byblos, one of the oldest cities still inhabited today, known for its Phoenician script that contributed to the creation of the alphabet and for lending its name to the Bible. The guide will provide insight into various historical elements of the site, including Neolithic foundations dating back to 5000 BC, Bronze Age temples, Phoenician royal tombs, Roman streets, and a 12th-century Crusader castle constructed from re-used Phoenician and Roman stones. While Byblos is impressive on its own, a knowledgeable guide makes it a profoundly enlightening historical experience in the Mediterranean. • Lunch in Byblos — waterfront restaurant · included Enjoy Lebanese mezze and fresh seafood at a restaurant overlooking the waterfront in Byblos, with the ancient fishing harbour directly in view. This setting is regarded as one of the best for lunch in Lebanon and is fully covered in the tour cost. • Byblos Old Souk & fishing port Wander through stone-paved streets filled with jewellery shops, antique vendors, and cafés before making your way to the ancient fishing harbour. The area features medieval walls, colourful wooden boats, and the open sea, providing an ideal spot for photography. • Return to Beirut — approx. 5:00–6:00 PM You will be dropped off at your hotel in Beirut. The day includes visits to Jeita Grotto, Harissa, and the 7,000-year history of Byblos, making it a highly recommended itinerary for travelers.
