Beirut - 9:00 AM — Departure from Beirut
Your private English-speaking driver will pick you up from your hotel in Beirut and drive north through the Dog River valley. The canyon walls here are etched with inscriptions from Egyptian pharaohs, Assyrian kings, and Roman emperors, leading you towards Jeita Grotto. - Jeita Grotto - Explore one of the world’s most stunning cave systems — a UNESCO tentative World Heritage Site and a top-five finalist in the New 7 Wonders of Nature. These two interconnected limestone caves extend over 9 kilometers beneath the Lebanese mountains. The upper cave is explored on foot, featuring a magnificent cathedral of stalactites and stalagmites up to 8 meters tall, while the lower cave is navigated by a silent electric boat along an underground river through breathtaking chambers. This unique experience in the Middle East sets the stage for an extraordinary day.
- The Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon - At the mountain’s peak, visit the iconic bronze statue of Our Lady of Lebanon, standing 8.5 meters tall at 650 meters above sea level, with arms reaching out towards the Mediterranean. This is one of the most recognizable religious monuments in the Middle East, surrounded by the Maronite Basilica and nearby churches, forming one of Lebanon’s most significant Christian pilgrimage sites. Your driver will share the history and importance of this cherished Lebanese landmark before descending back to the coast.
- Téléferique Harissa - Board the renowned Harissa Téléférique cable car at the Jounieh seafront and ascend 650 meters above sea level to the mountain sanctuary. This is one of the most thrilling and picturesque experiences in Lebanon. The aerial views over Jounieh Bay, the sparkling Mediterranean coastline, and the Lebanese mountain ranges during the ascent are among the most spectacular in the country. This is a highlight of the day, combining pure excitement with truly unforgettable scenery.
- Baatara Gorge Waterfall - The day’s climax and one of the most dramatic natural sights in the entire Middle East. The Baatara Gorge Waterfall near Tannourine is a unique phenomenon: a 255-meter waterfall that cascades through three natural limestone bridges, carved over millions of years by the Balaa river into the Jurassic limestone of the Lebanese mountains. Standing at the viewpoint above the gorge, watching the water disappear through bridge after bridge into the darkness below, is a rare travel moment that no photograph can fully capture. Your driver will explain the geological story behind one of Lebanon’s greatest natural wonders.

Byblos - Lunch in Byblos — optional stop on the way back
