Overview

Jeita Grotto, Harissa, and Byblos are the three destinations that appear on almost every Lebanon first-timer's list — and for good reason. This private day trip gets you to all three exclusively at your own pace, with a knowledgeable English-speaking driver who covers the key facts and stories at each stop. No group to keep up with. No fixed schedule beyond the pickup time. Just three of Lebanon's most iconic destinations, a private vehicle, and eight hours.
Jeita Grotto: a UNESCO tentative World Heritage Site and New 7 Wonders of Nature finalist — 9 kilometres of limestone caves 30 minutes from Beirut. Harissa: the cable car ride to 650 metres above the Mediterranean and the iconic shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon. Byblos: one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on earth — 7,000 years of Phoenician, Roman, and Crusader history in a single coastal site. Entrance tickets and lunch payable on site — you control the budget on the day.
