• Jeita Grotto - Jeita Grotto — a natural marvel of Lebanon
  Explore one of the world’s most stunning cave systems, a UNESCO tentative World Heritage Site and a finalist in the New 7 Wonders of Nature. Jeita Grotto consists of two interconnected limestone caves extending over 9 kilometers beneath the Lebanese mountains. The upper cave is accessible on foot, showcasing a cathedral of impressive stalactites and stalagmites, some reaching over 8 meters in height. The lower cave is explored by boat along an underground river, offering a serene journey through chambers of remarkable natural beauty.
• Téléferique Harissa - Téléférique cable car & Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon

Take the Harissa cable car up the mountain for breathtaking views over Jounieh Bay and the Lebanese coastline, arriving at the iconic bronze statue of Our Lady of Lebanon, which stands 8.5 meters tall at 650 meters above sea level. This is one of the most recognizable religious monuments in the Middle East, attracting pilgrims and visitors from across Lebanon and the Arab world. The panoramic views from the terrace are truly spectacular.

• Churches of Harissa - Discover the historic churches surrounding the shrine, including the Maronite Basilica of Our Lady of Lebanon and the nearby Melkite church. Together, they form one of Lebanon’s most significant pilgrimage complexes, reflecting the country’s rich Christian heritage and tradition of religious coexistence.

Begin at the Crusader castle, built in the 12th century from stones of ancient Phoenician and Roman temples. Inside, layers of civilization are revealed: Neolithic foundations, Bronze Age temples, Phoenician royal tombs, and Roman ruins, all within a single archaeological site. The guide will narrate the extraordinary story of a city that introduced the alphabet to the world and whose name inspired the word “Bible.”
