Jeita Grotto

One of the most wonderful place I have ever visited… thousands of years of history created drop by drop. Unfortunately pictures are not allowed inside the cave, but good side is that you will experience the first fresh emotions. Technical information: cave has higher and lower part, higher part with amazing space inside, all walking in and back out. Lower part is on the water, little trip with boat, you should not miss. Connection between those two, as well as going back to parking is possible with small “train”. All those are included with one ticket, around 10$ for a person.

A natural wonder developped over millions of years inside the these beautiful mountains. A formation of Stalactites and Stalagmites, many in weird shapes such as Jelly Fish, Mushroom, etc. based on their shapes. There are 3 layers to visit, Upper, Middle and Lower. While Upper and Middle is on foot, the lower is on a short boat trip. The temperatures within are cool throughout the year, around 20degs, especially a relief in the hot summers. The Entrance fee is $15 and includes rides on a cable car, toy train and the boat. Staff is friendly. Photography is strictly prohibited and they go to lengths to stop it. The reasoning given behind it when questioned was unconvincing and the only reason I can think of it so to create a curiosity among people so that people visit it in person generating income. Nevertheless, a beautiful place to not miss in a life time

I visited the place again since I heard it's open wasn't bad!!! Just the boat ride was really short! Other than that give it a go parking 250LB . And entrance ticket 15$ per adult a lot but well. U can't take pics or anything inside the caves, just open area outside , overall upper part is better personally big and u get to walk and experience the rocks the feelings and all . Lower one wasn't much water is nice but too much fuss over short boat trip

I visited Jeita Grotto today, and it is truly one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever seen. The caves are stunning, with incredible natural formations and an underground river that feels magical to experience. The entire area is well-maintained, and the beauty inside is simply unforgettable. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was that phones and photos are not allowed inside the grotto. I feel it would be much better if visitors could take photos, as it would help promote this amazing site when shared with friends and family—more people would be inspired to come and see it for themselves. I also believe the area could feel a bit less commercial if they focused more on enhancing the natural charm of the surroundings rather than just coffee shops and restaurants. Still, overall, Jeita Grotto is an absolute must-visit in Lebanon—an experience you will never forget.

My visit to the Grotto was unforgettable! Beautiful place and we'll maintained! So much history and amazing story of how old the grotto is! The only thing of downside was that the boat trips were absolutely short! It was less than 2 minutes!

Jeita Grotto is a true natural wonder. The natural beauty of the caves is breathtaking, with stunning stalactites and stalagmites that have formed over thousands of years. The experience is divided into two parts: the upper grotto, where you can walk through the impressive formations, and the lower grotto, where a serene boat ride takes you through a magical underground river.

So basically the place is actually CLOSED for a while now which they don't mention anywhere on the website and such . People come from far away places for it so it's such a let down . Please update your business and take care of it otherwise it's very unprofessional. Other than That the road to the place is quite nice and relaxing .

Different experiences but this place not suitable for kids or people who has breathing issues such as asthma where humidity there is very high. Taking photos or videos not allowed. But place is unique it is inside a mountain To reach mountain you have to park your car and take a train after get tickets
