Jeita Grotto
Overview
Enjoy a Private Tour in the wonder of Lebanon Jeita Grotto. This Jewel of tourism in located in the valley of Nahr El-Kalb at 18 Km north of Beirut. Millions of years were captured in drops of water. The grotto is made up of two limestone caves, upper galleries and a lower cave through which a 6,230 metre-long river runs. The total length of the cave is more than 9,000m and it accommodates a huge hall with 108m ceilings. The lower galleries, discovered in 1836 and opened to the public in 1958, are visited by boat, while the upper galleries, opened in January 1969, can be seen on foot.
During this Day Tour Trip, the fun begins with a short ride up the mountain in one of four Austrian cable cars. A Disney-like “train” pulled by a small replica of a steam engine makes regular runs up and down the hill.
Upon entering, the first thing you will notice is the sound of rushing water, followed by a sensation of clean cold. But the roar of the waterfall at the entrance gives way to profound silence as you glide deeper into the cave.
A tasteful lighting system illuminates the columns and sculptures fashioned by those great architects — water and time. Both the upper gallery hike and the 600-metre lower gallery boat trip on a subterranean lake are only samplings of the system, which has been explored for almost 6,910 metres. A reprieve from the world outside its ancient walls, this grotto is a perfect place to escape and meditate on life as you meander through its stunning halls.
There is a saying that the serene beauty of nature has to be enjoyed in the sound of silence. And Jeita Grotto delivers both stunning silence and spectacular beauty that make it a natural wonder by any count.
