Beirut - 9:00 AM — Departure from Beirut
Your private English-speaking driver will pick you up from your hotel in Beirut and drive north through the Dog River valley. The canyon walls here are etched with inscriptions from Egyptian pharaohs, Assyrian kings, and Roman emperors, leading you towards Jeita Grotto. - Jeita Grotto - Explore one of the world’s most stunning cave systems — a UNESCO tentative World Heritage Site and a top-five finalist in the New 7 Wonders of Nature competition. Jeita Grotto consists of two interconnected limestone caves extending over 9 kilometers beneath the Lebanese mountains. The upper cave is accessible on foot via an elevated walkway, showcasing a magnificent cathedral of stalactites and stalagmites, some reaching over 8 meters tall, formed over millions of years. The lower cave is traversed by a silent electric boat along an underground river, passing through chambers of ethereal beauty illuminated with soft lighting. This is a unique experience in the Middle East and one of Lebanon’s most cherished natural wonders.
- The Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon - Arrive at the Harissa mountain sanctuary to visit the iconic bronze statue of Our Lady of Lebanon, standing 8.5 meters tall on a stone pedestal at 650 meters above sea level, with arms outstretched towards the Mediterranean. As one of the most recognizable religious monuments in the Middle East, the shrine attracts pilgrims and visitors from Lebanon, the Arab world, and beyond. The Maronite Basilica and surrounding churches form one of Lebanon’s most significant pilgrimage sites. Your driver will share the history and importance of the shrine and the rich Maronite Christian heritage it embodies.
- Téléferique Harissa - Experience the renowned Harissa Téléférique — the cable car that links the seafront at Jounieh to the mountaintop shrine at Harissa, ascending 650 meters above sea level in just a few thrilling minutes. The aerial views over Jounieh Bay, the Mediterranean coastline, and the Lebanese mountain ranges during the descent are among the most breathtaking in Lebanon — and one of the most photographed experiences in the country. This is a highlight of the day, combining pure excitement with truly unforgettable scenery.
-
Jounieh - Lunch in Jounieh — optional
After descending from Harissa, enjoy a leisurely lunch at one of Jounieh’s waterfront restaurants, where fresh Lebanese mezze and seafood are served with views over the bay and the mountain you just descended from.
