• Beirut - 8:30 AM — Departure from Beirut
  Your friendly English-speaking driver will meet you in your hotel lobby and drive north along the coast. To your left, the Mediterranean sparkles, while to your right, the Lebanese mountains rise majestically, leading you to the first marvel of the day.
• Jeita Grotto - Jeita is an awe-inspiring experience. As you enter the mountain, the world transforms into a vast limestone cathedral, with stalactites and stalagmites formed over millions of years into breathtaking shapes. The upper cave is explored on foot along an elevated walkway, with the scale becoming more impressive with each step. Then, in the lower cave, you board a silent electric boat and glide along an underground river through serene chambers, the only sound being the drip of water in the darkness. A finalist in the New 7 Wonders of Nature and a UNESCO tentative World Heritage Site, Jeita truly deserves every accolade.
  ⏰ Visit duration: approx. 1.5 hours
• Téléferique Harissa - From underground to the skies — board the Harissa Téléférique at the Jounieh seafront and ascend 650 meters above sea level in a cable car that offers one of the most stunning aerial views in Lebanon. Jounieh Bay unfolds below, the Mediterranean stretches to the horizon, and the Lebanese mountain ranges frame the scene on all sides. The ascent alone is worthwhile, and what awaits at the top is even more rewarding.
  ⏰ Duration: approx. 20 minutes
• The Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon - ⛪ Stop 2: Harissa – Our Lady of Lebanon Shrine:
  At 650 meters above the sea, the bronze statue of Our Lady of Lebanon stands with arms outstretched toward the Mediterranean — 8.5 meters tall, visible for miles in every direction, and surrounded by the Maronite Basilica and churches that make Harissa one of the most visited pilgrimage sites in the Middle East. Whether visiting for faith, the views, or the extraordinary feeling of standing above the clouds on a Lebanese mountainside, this stop offers something truly indescribable.
  ⏰ Visit duration: approx. 30 minutes
• Byblos - Arrive in Byblos, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on earth, and explore a site where every stone tells a story from a different millennium. The Crusader castle, built in the 12th century from recycled Phoenician and Roman blocks, sits above Neolithic foundations dating to 5000 BC. Phoenician royal tombs, Bronze Age temples, and Roman colonnaded streets are all visible and real, all within a single afternoon’s walk. Byblos gave the world its alphabet, and its name gave us the word Bible. Your driver brings this 7,000-year story to life with local insights that no guidebook can match.
• Old Souk - Leave the castle and wander through the old souk — stone-paved lanes where jewelers craft Phoenician-inspired pieces, antique dealers showcase finds from across the Levant, and the aroma of fresh coffee wafts from doorways that have been open for generations. Follow the lane down to the ancient fishing port — still in daily use, vibrant with wooden boats, and framed by medieval walls — and find a table at the water’s edge for lunch.
• Byblos - Lunch in Byblos — optional
  Enjoy fresh mezze, grilled fish, and cold Lebanese wine at a waterfront table overlooking the oldest harbor in the world. If you have only one lunch in Lebanon, make it this one.

Visit the old harbor & stroll through the traditional souks, filled with handicrafts and cafés

Enjoy a leisurely lunch by the sea or in the old town (optional)

⏰ Visit duration: approx. 1 hour

• Beirut - Return to Beirut — approx. 4:00–5:00 PM

Certain days in Lebanon leave a lasting impression long after departure. This is one such day. On this intimate tour from Beirut, limited to 15 participants, you will explore three of the nation’s most iconic and emotionally impactful sites in just one day. Each destination is distinct and memorable in its own unique way.

Begin your journey at Jeita Grotto, where you will glide silently by boat through a magnificent cathedral of ancient rock formations, sculpted over millions of years. Ascend above the Mediterranean at Harissa, taking a cable car to a mountaintop shrine, where the breathtaking view is a reward in itself. Finally, stroll through 7,000 years of history in Byblos, an ancient Phoenician city where history is not confined to a museum but is alive beneath your feet, in the cobblestones of the streets, and in the fishermen who continue to work the world’s oldest harbor.
