Beirut - 9:00 AM — Departure from Beirut
The driver will pick up guests from their Beirut hotel and head north. Jeita Grotto is just 30 minutes away, and the adventure begins underground. - Jeita Grotto - Enter the mountain and experience a transformation. Jeita Grotto, a UNESCO tentative World Heritage Site and a top-five finalist in the New 7 Wonders of Nature, consists of two interconnected limestone caves stretching 9 kilometers beneath the Lebanese mountains. The upper cave is explored on foot via an elevated walkway, where stalactites and stalagmites up to 8 meters tall form impressive natural sculptures. The lower cave is traversed by a silent electric boat along an underground river through chambers of stunning natural beauty, offering a moment of genuine tranquility. Spend one hour and 30 minutes underground. It’s entirely worthwhile.

Téléferique Harissa - Harissa cable car — ascend to 650 meters
From underground to the skies, board the Harissa Téléférique at Jounieh and ascend 650 meters above sea level, with the entire Lebanese coastline unfolding beneath. The views over Jounieh Bay during the ascent are truly breathtaking, and the 20-minute ride concludes at the iconic bronze statue of Our Lady of Lebanon, standing 8.5 meters tall with arms outstretched toward the Mediterranean. This is one of the most recognized religious monuments in the Middle East, offering spectacular views whether visiting for faith or scenery. Both are excellent reasons. - Byblos Castle - Arrive in one of the oldest cities ever built and step into 7,000 years of history. The 12th-century Crusader castle was constructed from recycled Phoenician and Roman stones, with civilizations literally layered in the walls. Inside, discover Neolithic foundations from 5000 BC, Bronze Age temples, Phoenician royal tombs, and Roman streets. Byblos introduced the world to the alphabet, and its name inspired the word Bible. The driver will share stories as guests explore, turning an impressive collection of ancient stones into a meaningful and memorable experience.

Old Souk - Byblos Old Souk & fishing port
Exit the castle and enter the old souk, with stone lanes, jewelry workshops, antique dealers, and café doors that have been open for generations.

It’s a perfect place to decide whether to have lunch here or simply enjoy the view for a while. -

Enjoy a waterfront table with fresh mezze, grilled fish, and the ancient harbor as a backdrop. After a day of exploring caves, cable cars, and Crusader castles, this is the lunch deserved. -
