Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Jeita Grotto, 20 km North of Beirut, Jitta Lebanon
The Jeita Grotto is a system of two separate, but interconnected, karstic limestone caves spanning an overall length of nearly 9 kilometres. The caves are situated in the Nahr al-Kalb valley within the locality of Jeita, 18 kilometres north of the Lebanese capital Beirut.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: The Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon, Keserwan, Harissa Lebanon
Harissa is a mountain village in Lebanon. The village, which is located 650 meters above sea level, is home to an important Lebanese pilgrimage site, Our Lady of Lebanon. The village is located 20 km north of Beirut, and accessible from the coastal city of Jounieh either by road or by a nine-minute journey by a gondola lift, known as the "Téléférique". It attracts both pilgrims and tourists who want to enjoy views of the bay of Jounieh.
The pilgrimage site is a huge 15-ton bronze (and painted white) statue of Virgin Mary, known as Our Lady of Lebanon, with her arms outstretched. The statue was made at the end of the 19th century and inaugurated in 1908. Inside the statue's base, there is a small chapel. A huge modernistic Maronite cathedral built of concrete and glass stands right beside the statue.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Telefrique Harisa, Kesrouane, Lebanon
One of Lebanon’s oldest and most visited tourist attractions, the gondolas of the Teleferique aerial cableway are a trip down memory lane, from a pioneering venture in 1965 to a beautifully preserved modern-day attraction offering breathtaking views of the bay of Jounieh and the surrounding city, the Teleferique is an impressive testimony to time gone by, one meter at a time.

We didn't have long in Lebanon so we booked two tours and both were great. Our guide, Salah (sp?) was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable and flexible. He had all sorts of tips that made our stay that much better. We enjoyed him so much we requested him for our second tour the next day. Thank you for a great time in Lebanon.
