Step by Step

The Byblos, Jeita Grotto and Harissa excursion from Beirut will take you to three of the region's must-see destinations on a private, full-day tour exclusively for you and your group.

In Byblos, you'll explore an ancient coastal city bathed by the waters of the Mediterranean. Stroll through its narrow cobbled streets and admire its impressive harbour.

There you will see the impressive ruins dating back to the Neolithic period, for which the area was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site .

You'll also admire the architectural beauty of Byblos Castle, built of limestone in the 12th century and replete with epic stories of Lebanon, as well as the busy souk (main market), where a wealth of goods, antiques, handicrafts and much more await you.

When you arrive at Jeita Grotto, you'll enter an impressive underground cave system that has been listed as one of the natural wonders of the world. The grotto features a boat ride through an underground lake surrounded by stalactites and stalagmites that will leave you speechless.

The other stop is at Harissa, a holy site for Christians. Located on top of a hill, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the whole of Beirut.

When you visit, you'll take a cable car ride up to meet the beautiful statue of the Virgin Mary and an impressive church that is a place of pilgrimage for many worshippers.

You will have the opportunity to tour the attractions and monuments at your own pace, without strict itineraries. In addition, your professional driver will serve as your guide, providing you with interesting facts about the places on the tour.

    We visited the impressive Jeita Grotto, from where the panoramic view of Harissa was spectacular. Afterwards, the antiquity and history of Byblos fascinated us - highly recommended!
