This full-day private car trip from Beirut lasts about 8 to 9 hours and includes visits to Jeita Grotto, Harissa, and Byblos. The tour begins with a hotel pickup at 8:30 AM. The first stop is Jeita Grotto where guests spend nearly 75 minutes exploring the two interconnected limestone caves. Visitors travel inside the grotto by mini cable-car and boat, then return by a mini train. Next, the tour continues to Harissa to see the Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon. Visitors travel by car up the mountain, enjoying views of Jounieh Bay, and spend about an hour at the statue site. The tour includes a ride on the main cable-car (Telefrique Harissa) down to Jounieh, or a vehicle transfer if the cable-car is not operating. From Jounieh, the driver continues to Byblos. In Byblos, guests walk for about an hour around the marina, castle, and souk. There is an option to enter Byblos Castle (the Crusader castle of Gibelet) which is next to the archaeological site with ruins of the Temple of Baalat Gebal and the Temple of the Obelisks. After about 45 minutes at the castle, the group visits the old souk for 45 minutes to browse local shops with antiques, souvenirs, and crafts. The tour concludes with a 90-minute lunch at a traditional Lebanese restaurant in Byblos. After lunch, the driver returns to Beirut and drops guests at their hotel. The tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off, a private English-speaking guide, and explanations at each site. Lunch and gratuities are not included.
