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.
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.
