Light filters into a cool limestone throat as the guide leads the group toward a narrow opening—this is Jeita Grotto, where dripping stone has carved cathedrals and columns over millennia. Nearby, the cable car climbs the pine-lined slope to Harissa and the bronze figure of Our Lady of Lebanon, and the day finishes strolling the layered streets and ancient harbor of Byblos.
