Baatara Gorge Waterfall, Jeita Grotto and Byblos Tour (Small Group)
Best of Lebanon’s most fascinating cities. A must-do guided tour for first-time visitors, history lovers and travelers interested in learning more about the ancient cities of the world.
Baatara Gorge Waterfall: know as the cave of three bridges, turns into a waterfall when the winter snow melts. The waterfall drops 255 meters (837 ft.) into a cave and falls behind three natural bridges, which raise one above the other and overhang the chasm descending into Mount Lebanon.
Jeita Grotto: The grotto is split into two parts; the upper with a breathtaking view of extraordinary stone that forms curtains and columns, draperies and mushrooms. A boat ride is offered at the lower grotto. It also features ropeways, train, miniature zoo, gardens and many sculptures.
Byblos: A thriving modern town with an ancient heart, Byblos is a mix of sophistication and tradition. The old harbor is sheltered from the sea by a rocky headland. Nearby are the excavated remains of the ancient city, the Crusader castle, St. Peter church and the old market area.
