Operated by Beirut Daily Tours · Jeita, Mount Lebanon
You arrive from the coast and the road tightens into pine-scented switchbacks; the city recedes and the limestone cliffs loom. At Jeita the air cools and the cave hush presses in — dripping formations carved over millions of years, an upper gallery of crystal columns and a lower, smooth river you cross by boat. Later, the Telepherique climbs above the trees to Harissa, where the bronze Our Lady of Lebanon looks out over Jounieh Bay and the Mediterranean below.

5 hours.
Suitable for travelers in average physical condition; involves walking on uneven surfaces and short stairs in the caves
The private tour runs about five hours total, including hotel pickup and drop-off, time at Jeita and the stop in Harissa.
Itineraries show admission as not included for some stops; confirm with the operator at booking whether entrance and cable-car fees are included.
The tour is advertised as suitable for all fitness levels, but Jeita has stairs and uneven walkways and the lower gallery requires a short boat transfer — check accessibility details with the provider.
Morning departures usually avoid the busiest periods at Jeita and Harissa; weekdays are typically quieter than weekends and holidays.
Jeita’s caverns formed over millions of years in karst limestone; Harissa’s Our Lady of Lebanon statue was inaugurated in the early 20th century and remains a major pilgrimage site.
Visitors should avoid touching cave formations and stick to marked paths—speleothems recover extremely slowly; use refillable bottles and local waste bins to reduce impact.
