Private Tour from Beirut to Jeita Grotto, Harissa & Saint Charbel
Head to Northern Lebanon and experience a day trip to three interesting sites. Get the chance to explore the marvelous Jeita Grotto, the Jewel of Tourism in Lebanon, a limestone cave consisted of stalactites and stalagmites wonderfully shaped! Visit Our Lady of Lebanon statue in Harissa, located 600 m above sea level, and admire a magical view of Jounieh Bay. Then visit Saint Charbel Annaya, a place of pilgrimage and a national shrine for all people of all faiths to visit.
Jeita Grotto
Jeita Grotto is considered one of the most amazing natural artifacts in the Middle East and one of the most beautiful caves known to mankind through modern and ancient times. It consists of two layers, the first is an inferior cave called the “water crystal”, where an underground river flows, which allows the visitors to discover it by a small boat ride; and the upper cave with natural wonders of stalagmites, stalactites, and transparent curtains. Jeita Cave is one of the qualifying places for the Group of Seven Wonders of the World, and the cave has become one of the most important tourist places in Lebanon.
Harissa
The Harissa area, which overlooks the Jounieh Bay, is distinguished by its religious character, as it includes the shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon. This shrine consists of a huge statue of the Virgin Mary, which annually receives many believers, Arabs and foreign tourists who visits “Our Lady of Lebanon” to pray or to get to know this holy Lebanese spot and to admire the amazing landscapes. It is noteworthy that the shrine of “Our Lady of Lebanon” can only be reached by taking the “Jounieh” cable car, which allows during this short trip to get acquainted with the natural forests that characterize this region, as well as the wonderful panoramic view of Jounieh bay.
Saint Charbel
In this place, holiness and spirituality are mixed with ancient Lebanese architecture. The smells of incense are intertwined with the smell of the stones, the smell of wine and the scent of the colors of the paintings. Saint Charbel in Annaya is much more than a religious shrine. The nature surrounding the shrine; the size of the shrine itself, and the comments on world tourist sites do not unite the splendor of a Lebanese tourist destination as they do with this monastery.
