Jeita GrottoJeita Grotto — New 7 Wonders finalist · UNESCO tentative site Two cave systems that consistently top Lebanon's must-visit lists. 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 — a stillness and scale that photographs cannot capture. Your driver covers the key geological facts at the entrance. You explore at your own pace inside. ~1 hr 30 min · ~45 min to Ixsir Entrance fee payable on site. Photography not permitted inside. Lower cave boat ride may close during high water seasons.
-
Ixsir — Lebanon's most architecturally distinctive modern winery Drive north to Batroun and arrive at Ixsir — one of Lebanon's most celebrated and most visually striking modern wineries, built into a hillside above an 18th-century farmhouse that forms the heart of the estate. What makes Ixsir genuinely interesting to wine travelers is its sourcing philosophy — grapes drawn from high-altitude vineyards across six different Lebanese regions, from the Bekaa to the north coast, producing wines that express the full diversity of Lebanese terroir in a single cellar. The guided cellar tour covers the winemaking approach and the estate's architecture before a tasting of Ixsir's signature whites, elegant reds, and the acclaimed Grande Réserve. Your driver shares the story of the estate and its place in Lebanon's modern wine renaissance.
-
Byblos CastleByblos Castle & archaeological site — 7,000 years on foot 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 12th-century Crusader castle built from recycled Phoenician and Roman stone. Inside: Neolithic foundations from 5000 BC, Bronze Age temples, Phoenician royal tombs, and Roman streets. Your driver covers the key historical facts at the entrance — you explore the full site at your own pace.
-
Old SoukByblos Old Souk & fishing port Stone-paved lanes with jewellery workshops, antique dealers, and cafés — then down to the ancient fishing harbour where wooden boats sit against medieval walls and open sea. The most photogenic corner of Byblos and the natural close to the day.
-
ByblosLunch in Byblos — optional Waterfront Lebanese mezze and fresh seafood at a Byblos harbour restaurant — the ancient fishing port directly in front of you. Optional and at your own expense. After a winery visit, the case for a relaxed waterfront lunch makes itself. Your driver recommends the best spots.
- Return to Beirut — approx. 5:30–6:30 PM Drop-off at your Beirut hotel. Underground caves, one of Lebanon's finest modern wineries, and 7,000 years of Byblos — three stops that rarely appear on the same itinerary, covered privately at your own pace. (pass by)
