Rejseplan
8:30 - Afrejse fra Beirut Din guide møder dig på dit hotel i Beirut, og du leder mod nord, der svinger gennem Dog River-dalen - dens kanjonvægge udskåret med inskriptioner efterladt af egyptiske faraoer, assyriske konger og romerske kejsere - mod dit første stop ved Jeita Grotto.
Jeita Grotto – Libanons naturlige vidunder Stig ned i et af de mest spektakulære hulesystemer i verden - et UNESCO-tilfældigt verdensarvsted og en finalist i de nye 7 naturunder. Jeita Grotto er et netværk af to indbyrdes forbundne kalksten huler, der strækker sig over 9 kilometer under de libanesiske bjerge. Den øverste hule er udforsket til fods, afslører en katedral af dramatiske stalaktitter og stalagmitter, nogle tårn over 8 meter høj. Den nederste hule er navigeret med båd langs en underjordisk flod, glider stille gennem kamre af ekstraordinær naturskønhed.
Hoteller i nærheden af Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon Ride Harissa kabelbanen op ad bjerget for at nyde en fantastisk udsigt over Jounieh Bay og den libanesiske kyst, før du ankommer til den ikoniske bronze statue af Vor Frue af Libanon, der står 8,5 meter højt på 650 meter over havets overflade. Et af de mest anerkendte religiøse monumenter i Mellemøsten, helligdommen tiltrækker pilgrimme og besøgende fra hele Libanon og den arabiske verden. Udsigten fra terrassen er fantastisk.
Udforsk klyngen af historiske kirker omkring helligdommen - herunder den maronitiske basilika af vor Frue af Libanon og Melkite kirken i nærheden. Sammen danner de et af Libanons vigtigste pilegrimskomplekser, der repræsenterer landets dybe kristne arv og dets tradition for religiøs sameksistens.
Ankomme til Byblos - kontinuerligt beboet i over 7.000 år og en af de ældste byer på jorden - og begynde på korsfarernes slot bygget i det 12. århundrede fra stenene i gamle fønikiske og romerske templer. Indenfor udfolder sig et lag efter et lag af civilisation: Neolithiske fundamenter, bronzealderens templer, kongelige fænikiske grave og romerske ruiner, alt sammen inden for et enkelt arkæologisk område. Din guide samler den ekstraordinære historie om en by, der gav verden sit alfabet, og hvis navn gav os ordet "Bibel".
Vandre gennem den charmerende gamle souk i Byblos - stenbelagte stier linet med håndværksværksteder, antikke forhandlere og smykkebutikker, der specialiserer sig i Phoenician-inspirerede designs. Et perfekt sted at browse eller hente en souvenir før frokost.
Frokost i Byblos – valgfri Nyd en afslappet frokost på en af de restauranter ved vandet med udsigt over Byblos fiskerihavn - frisk libanesisk mezze, grillet fisk og skaldyr serveret med en af de smukkeste havneudsigt i Libanon. En velfortjent pause før dagens sidste stop.
Afslut din tid i Byblos ved sin gamle fiskerihavn - en af de ældste havne i verden, der stadig bruges i dag af lokale fiskere, som det har været i årtusinder. De farverige træbåde, middelalderens bymure og det sparklende Middelhavet gør dette til det mest fotogene sted i Byblos og det perfekte sidste minde om dagen.
Tilbage til Beirut – ca. 4: 30–5: 00 Drop af på dit hotel i Beirut efter en dag, der tog dig fra jordens dybder i Jeita, til højderne i Harissa, til de gamle kyster i en af de ældste havnebyer i verden.

This tour was amazing, Albert , our guide was exceptional, he was kind and Knowledgable , he gave us great history info about Lebanon, explained every detail with passion. I highly recommend this tour with Albert
100% recommend, especially for solo travelers or if you’re from the US. I had such a great time with Albert on the Byblos tour. It was an intimate tour with so much history and fun facts along the way. Albert is friendly with all of the touristic establishment staff members so they greet him/us when we arrive. It was not a strenuous walking tour but instead an organized, leisurely trip across 3 very culturally rich locations that would otherwise take much longer to worry about with driving,parking,tickets,lunch, etc. Tip: Bring small bill cash ($10s, $5s, and $1s) for your entrance tickets to the grotto/gondola and for shopping in the old souk. Note: You won’t be able to take your own photos inside of the caves but can pay for them to take some of you. This is the case for anyone who comes regardless of the group. I was traveling solo and this was my first time in Lebanon so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Everything was so organized and it really felt like an old friend was taking you around. I felt so comfortable with him and hope to book another tour with him next time I’m in Lebanon, maybe to Baalbek. I have done guided tours before and they take all day and are so exhausting and boring. The day flew by, from 8:30am - 4pm. I wouldn’t recommend this if I didn’t have such a great time with Albert. Here are some photos I took along the way.
The Grotto alone is worth it, genuinely one of the most breathtaking natural sites I’ve ever visited. Hassan was again a fantastic guide, knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming throughout. Highly recommended.
It was good. The caves were cool.
100000/10 I got picked up at my hotel at the scheduled time and warmly welcomed, we visited all the places mentioned and guided with history and all kinds of information about where we were and free too ask questions. Albert was a wonderful guide! I will never forgot this day trip and so greatful that i booked it! Thank you xoxo
We Just got back from the tour and It was Amazing. The guide, Albert was very good, he shared his knowledge about Lebanon and the country in general as well as all the info we needed in the sites. The tour was very good, comfortable and with a good amount of time to do everything. We recommend it!
Amazing experience , best view
A truly enjoyable day—everything was straightforward and very well organized, and Hassan turned out to be a very friendly and helpful guide I had the privilege of arriving right when the Jeita Grottoes opened and having them all to myself Beautiful places and truly charming people I met throughout the trip A day that felt like a breath of fresh air, given the current situation
I had an amazing experience. Hassane is an extremely knowledgeable and professional guide. Absolutely recommended to everyone interested in exploring Lebanon through a local’s eyes with great insights and fun facts
Albert was very nice and professional, as well as a good driver, very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was well organized with the timings, the van was comfortable and all the places we visited were beautiful.
