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.

Amazing! This is briefly what you can say about this majestic place. I visited the grotto several times in the past and this summer I wanted to let my kids to see it. They were extremely stunned by the cave and the incredible shapes of the stalagmites and stalactites. This place is a must see for any visitor to Lebanon. No pictures are allowed inside but nothing can depict what you see there in 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.

A Very majestic place ! Both the upper and the lower grotto are very beautiful and worth the visit !

It is a magnificient place and wonder of this world. It's a must visit site whenever u visit lebanon. Breathtaking
