Jeita Grotto, Jitta

An amazing destination and activity to do with friends and family. There are several things to do but sadly the cable car is out if work right now due to the situation. Still you can enjoy a walk in the upper cave and a quick boat ride in the lower one which are both great experiences. Truly the prettiest cave in Lebanon so far.

Of course this place is one of the top sightseeing destinations in Lebanon. The place is so great. It is not allowed to take the mobile inside the place to avoid photos as the flash light affects the cave badly. The place is so unique Sob7an Allah and for me, it looked like a coral reef. But unfortunately, there was no option at that time for taking the boat trip inside it, aka (lower grotto). There is a train that takes you from the external gate to the cave’s gate.

Don’t leave Lebanon without visiting this place and have fun there ! It’s the biggest cave in lebanon,millions of years were captured in drops of water, the wonder of Lebanon. It’s 10 km long, passing under 6 villages, one of the longest stalactites in the world measuring 8.2 m is located in the upper grotto. The ceiling to the level of water reaches 108 m. International campaign award by “New 7 wonders of nature” competition “for achieving the highest levels of international voting participation”.

Amazing experience. Truly one of the wonders of the world! The staff is nice enough to allow for photos since new phones don’t use flash! This place restores my love for the earth and its magical beauty! We were fortunate enough to do the upper and lower grotto.

Jeita Grotto, Lebanon is a great tourist spot. Clean & well managed. You can easily spend about an hour or more here, there are two parts to this cave, one is a walking area and the other is a boat ride. Both are included in your ticket. Inside the cave, it's ceiling always drips water and it almost feels like it's about to rain. Taking pictures inside is prohibited however you'll see a lot of people who managed to take pictures inside. Don't know the reason & didn't' care to ask. Either Way you'll enjoy this area if you like natural formations of caves and it is definitely worth visiting.
