Magnificent & scary
Aug 2021 • Friends
When i entered the cave i was like wow
It is very magnificent and scary too like caves in films
The upper cave is very huge
The lower cave is more entertainment as you can take a boat and explore the cave in its water
Entrance ticket is not expensive about 18,000 LBL

Jeita Grotto, from the time of the dinosaurs 🦕
Jul 2020 • Friends
Jeita Grotto is beautiful and will transport you back in time by one million years. The caves are fresh and cool with natural and unnatural lighting and stairways.

There are upper and lower caves. You will be carried to the top by a cable car or teleferique. After you’re finished with the upper cave, take the train to the lower cave and have a fun boat ride. Afterwards, take a walk through the garden.

A great place to come as a couple or family. Beautiful scenery certainly encourages romance. 😉😘

I recommend to friends. Enjoy! 🙏

even better than expected

we had a full day planned for the kids. Visiting Jeita Grotto than Paragliding club Thermique. Actually the manager of the paragliding club did all the planning for us suggesting that we arrive at 9 am to Jeita Grotto, do the two grottos tour and be at their office which is 20 minutes away at 1 pm. And that's what happened. We took all the time we need at the grottos. THEY ARE JUST AMAZING, ASTONISHING, MARVELOUS. I advise everyone to visit. and the plan was perfect timing wise because we arrived to paragliding club thermique where pilot elie mansour was waiting for us at exactly 1 pm. What an amazing visit. you have to come here everyone.

Not too Impressed

Getting to the place using cable car was fun. The views are pretty good too. However, am not impressed by the Cave as there are much better ones in the world.

Incredible

One of the world’s best attractions. The natural, the size, the landscapes are all incredible.
I wish there were enough good hotels around for visitors to spend more time there.

Amazing miracle of nature
Feb 2020 • Couples
It is the biggest and the most beautiful Cave we have ever seen. There are two levels you can visit - Upper level is the main one, with long path allowing you to see stunning Cave formations. The lower level is smaller, there is a lake here and you can take a boat to see it. We were not very lucky this time - because of the high level of water the lower part was close. It is a shame though it is not anybody's fault and may happen so better be aware of this possibility. I am still happy because all we could see in the upper level was simply beautiful and probably hard to beat.

Lovely caves and natural formations
Mar 2019 • Solo
Beautiful caves but don’t take photos or you might have your phone confiscated. Annoying because of the number of tourists and some peoples’ inability to listed to or understand rules, you are not allowed to take photos inside these beautiful caves. Normally the harm, I believe, would be from flashes and light (I may be mistaken), but there is a full ban on any photography whether with a phone or camera.

Quite a lot of area to walk around and cover.

Extraordinary Limestone Caves!
May 2019
A visit to Lebanon would not be complete without seeing this natural wonder that is just a short drive from Beirut. Photos are absolutely not permitted inside. The positive side of this, is that you are left to marvel at the dramatic rock & mineral formations without any distractions. No selfies here! The vast presence of stunning stalagmites & stalactites make the walk from the upper grotto to the boat ride in the lower part, feel like a voyage through fantasyland. It's not a huge walk, but to fully enjoy it, wear comfortable shoes.
This extraordinary site is a must see!
