Spend a day moving from limestone caverns to ancient port streets and a mountaintop shrine. This private full‑day tour pairs Jeitta Grotto’s subterranean spectacle with Byblos’ archaeological layers and Harissa’s panoramic cable car ride.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of an air-conditioned minivan and the coastal air hits first—salted, warm, threaded with diesel and citrus. A short drive up from Beirut opens to a landscape of limestone ridges and terraced groves; you move from seaside byblos lanes to the cool, echoing vaults of Jeitta Grotto before the cable car ride to Harissa's hilltop shrine.

Byblos is one of the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities with Phoenician, Roman and Crusader layers; Jeitta’s caves formed in a limestone karst system over millions of years and Harissa’s shrine dates to 19th‑century Maronite devotion.
Conservation
Cave formations are fragile—avoid touching speleothems and stay on paths; support local guides who practice low‑impact tourism to help preserve coastal and archaeological sites.
