You step out of Beirut’s pulse and into limestone silence: the Jeita Grotto yawns ahead, light catching on delicate stalactites while the lower cave's boat drift dares you forward. By midday the air changes—sea-scent and swept views from Harissa’s cable car, then the ancient stone lanes of Byblos hum with market voices and salt on the breeze.
