Jeita GrottoJeita Grotto — natural wonder of Lebanon Descend into one of the most spectacular cave systems in the world — a UNESCO tentative World Heritage Site and a finalist in the New 7 Wonders of Nature. Jeita Grotto is a network of two interconnected limestone caves stretching over 9 kilometres beneath the Lebanese mountains. The upper cave is explored on foot, revealing a cathedral of dramatic stalactites and stalagmites, some towering over 8 metres tall. The lower cave is navigated by boat along an underground river, gliding silently through chambers of extraordinary natural beauty.
-
Téléférique cable car & Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon Ride the Harissa cable car up the mountain for sweeping views over Jounieh Bay and the Lebanese coastline, before arriving at the iconic bronze statue of Our Lady of Lebanon, standing 8.5 metres tall at 650 metres above sea level. One of the most recognisable religious monuments in the Middle East, the shrine draws pilgrims and visitors from across Lebanon and the Arab world. The panoramic views from the terrace are spectacular.
-
Churches of HarissaExplore the cluster of historic churches surrounding the shrine — including the Maronite Basilica of Our Lady of Lebanon and the Melkite church nearby. Together they form one of Lebanon's most important pilgrimage complexes, representing the country's deep Christian heritage and its tradition of religious coexistence.
-
Byblos CastleArrive in Byblos — continuously inhabited for over 7,000 years and one of the oldest cities on earth — and begin at the Crusader castle built in the 12th century from the stones of ancient Phoenician and Roman temples. Inside, layer upon layer of civilisation unfolds: Neolithic foundations, Bronze Age temples, Phoenician royal tombs, and Roman ruins, all within a single archaeological site. Your guide pieces together the extraordinary story of a city that gave the world its alphabet and whose name gave us the word "Bible."
-
Old SoukWander through the charming old souk of Byblos — stone-paved lanes lined with artisan workshops, antique dealers, and jewellery shops specialising in Phoenician-inspired designs. A perfect place to browse or pick up a memento before lunch.
-
ByblosLunch in Byblos — optional Enjoy a leisurely lunch at one of the waterfront restaurants overlooking Byblos fishing port — fresh Lebanese mezze, grilled fish, and seafood served with one of the most beautiful harbour views in Lebanon. A well-earned break before the final stop of the day.
-
Byblos PortEnd your time in Byblos at its ancient fishing port — one of the oldest harbours in the world, still used today by local fishermen as it has been for millennia. The colourful wooden boats, medieval city walls, and sparkling Mediterranean make this the most photogenic spot in Byblos and the perfect final memory of the day.
- Return to Beirut — approx. 4:30–5:00 PM Drop-off at your Beirut hotel after a day that took you from the depths of the earth at Jeita, to the heights of Harissa, to the ancient shores of one of the oldest port cities in the world. (pass by)
