Description:

The highlights of northern Lebanon await. Experience the underground wonders of the cave system at Jeita Grotto. Enjoy the dramatic limestone features and vibrant colors that create this mystical atmosphere. Admire the view from Our Lady of Lebanon and stop for lunch before visiting ancient Byblos.

Begin your adventure at Jeita Grotto, a system of 2 interconnected caves, 1 on the water's surface and the other accessed via walkway. Spectacular stalactites and stalagmites sit in huge chambers; the labyrinth of galleries intertwine over 5.6 miles (9 km), creating a breathtaking natural wonder.

Next, board the cable car from Jounieh to the summit village of Harissa, home to the Lebanese pilgrimage site, Our Lady of Lebanon. Absorb the far-reaching views over the bay and across the Mediterranean Sea.

Refresh and take a break with a traditional lunch before heading to Byblos—thought to be the oldest continuously inhabited place on earth. Wander the streets of the ancient port town, marvel at the Phoenician ruins of the impressive Crusader Castle, and perhaps dip into the souks for a souvenir.
