Every time we visit Lebanon we go there. We just love the place though no camera allowed. They expanded the footpath and some more work in the horizon. We started at the top cave then the bottom on a boat. Amazing experience if you like such things and we surely recommend it.
Amazing place to visit. The upper and lower parts of grotto are more than amazing to look at and enjoy. It's a good place to relax and feel peaceful. It was nominated to be one of world's 7 wonders and it really deserves this.
The best part of my trip to Lebanon by far! There's an upper cave and lower cave and they have a cable or train ride to go to the upper cave. There was a long line for the cable car which would only last about a minute tops. Pictures aren't allowed but the experience will stay with you regardless. It's fairly cool inside so a sweater would be nice to have. The upper cave has many stairs for you to climb through but it's amazing to look below once you've reached the top.
The lower cave has a 3 minute boat ride through cool, clear waters. You may have some minimal dripping from above but nothing significant. Overall, an incredible experience! The cost was about 18 USD
It's definitely a must visit place. The two grottos are amazing, I thought the upper grotto was much prettier. The whole experience is nice, you get to the upper grotto by riding a cable car, then take a mini train ride to get to the lower grotto; then you get in a boat to see inside of the lower grotto. You need to leave your phones in a locker though so a mental picture is all you can take.
Stunning caves in two parts: upper and lower grottos. The upper could be described as cathedral like, while the lower has a short boat ride on dark but slowly flowing water. A train-like ride is offered to take you from the upper to the lower grotto, however, you can easily walk down the road to the lower grotto if you don't want to wait. No photography allowed. Close to Beirut, so could form part of an easy day trip.
The view is unbelievably beautiful. You are unfortunately not allowed to take pictures inside the caves. There are 2 parts to visit. Upper and Lower Grotto. You need to lock your phones and cameras before entering the caves in a locker. You can walk between the upper and lower part but there is a small train that you can take to enjoy the view too.
Lower grotto was my favorite part where they make you get on a boat and see the cave on the boat.
Nothing can describe this grotto. This is my 3rd visit yet more astonished than the 1st. Highly recommended. 5 stars for sure
The karstic limestone caves and the water-filled cavern below it are breathtaking. The stalagmites and stalactites look like nothing I've ever seen before. Absolutely worth the trip.
There is also a cafe-restaurant with decent food at reasonable prices, with a warm indoor seating room and an outdoor seating area that is probably great in the spring. A small sculpture garden and some pens with chickens, rabbits, and mountain goats round things out. But the limestone caverns are definitely the main attraction.
Most probably the best cave in the world! magical naturally made interior. The place Can be easily reached from Beirut by car within 25 minutes. A must see!
Fantastic visit. Breathtaking stalagmites and stalactites, including one they claim to be the largest in the world. No photos allowed (I don't understand why). Constant 22° in the upper chamber and 16°in lower chamber. Visit takes about an hour. Cable car ride to the entrance of the cave was fun.
An amazing place to be. Very beautiful. Bring a cardigan or a jacket with you all year long as it gets cold inside the grotto
Nice place 18 $ and you have to get pic with traditional clothes there .
Abu jasem selling amazing zatar before entering the place .
Jeita Grotto is a piece of art designed by nature. Gaudi must have gotten his inspiration here. Entering the caves leaves an impression of pure awe, makes you want to walk in silence soaking up the beauty and leaves goose bumps from being in this astounding grotto. Taking pictures is not allowed, you’re asked to leave your phone in a locker. This actually adds to the serene environment and the mystery of the place.
We had great time visiting this nature wonder site. .it is very well maintained and very organized. I recommend it to all visitors of Lebanon.
Long huge underground caves showing the Nature at work as an artist. So many beautiful and unique natural figures are there created by natural activities. A nice place to visit
Waw. Visiting the place more than once is necessary since, in 1 go, one cannot grasp the unique and abontant details falling and raising in front. Boat trip for lower cave is short. Try to find when water at the optimum height, if any. Moreover, go and visit it outside peak seaon. Believe me the place uniqueness alone is worth the trip
In love with this cave. Breathtaking view. Definitely one of the best 7 wonders in the world. ❤️❤️
This is the most awesome cave. I have visited many caves is Europe and the United States and I haven't seen anything that comes even close. Both the upper and lower galleries are stunning. Only negative is that pictures are not allowed.
5 stars for the geology. 3 stars for the facilities. They have a very small store to buy souvenirs. And a small shack that sells cokes and ice cream bars. There was a movie that was supposed to explain the geologic history of the area in a tiny theater. However the shows are only once an hour. 1 hour in Arabic. The next in French. Then next in English.
Words can not describe the natural beauty of this place. Located in a beautiful area the cave is simply a hidden gem. You just glaze at it with astonishment how it was formed. Highly recommended tourist attraction.
ABSOLUTELY breathtaking views in the grotto and caves, could not believe my eyes to see something like this that nature has created. I wish I could have taken pictures but they have banned all pictures and cameras while going on tours. Jeita Grotto is definitely a place you must visit while exploring Lebanon. It is worth every single minute!
It's a historical cave that usually travelers from everywhere visit. It is the best cultural place in Lebanon.
The grotto has one of the most unique sights you will ever see.
Besides being one of the largest and most well preserved grottos in the world it has some of the most beautiful lime accumulations.
Amazing cave! The ticket includes entrance into the upper cave as well as a boat ride in the lower caves. Photos are strictly prohibited so we could not take photos, but the caves were amazing, especially the upper cave, which has a well built path that takes you deep into the massive cave.
