Tour Highlights

• 🍽 Traditional Lebanese Breakfast: Enjoy fresh Manakish and coffee at a local bakery before heading to the mountains.

• 🕳 Jeita Grotto (by Boat): Explore Lebanon’s most famous natural wonder — a stunning two-level limestone cave system adorned with stalactites and stalagmites. Glide through the lower grotto by boat and walk the illuminated upper galleries.

• 🏰 Faqra Fortress: Visit the ancient Roman and Byzantine ruins of Faqra, perched at 1,500 meters above sea level. Discover temples, altars, and columns carved into stone — remnants of Lebanon’s high-mountain civilizations.

• 💦 Faraya Waterfall (Seasonal): Stop to admire this picturesque waterfall cascading between mountain rocks, especially beautiful in spring when snow melts.

• 🍴 Lunch: Indulge in a relaxed mountain lunch in Kfardebian — a favorite spot for its views, ambiance, and fine Lebanese cuisine.

• 🌉 Faqra Natural Bridge: Visit one of the world’s largest natural stone bridges, spanning 38 meters. Formed by water erosion over thousands of years, it’s a breathtaking sight and a photographer’s dream.

• 🌄 Sunset at Mar Charbel Statue – Sad Chabrouh: End your day with a peaceful stop at the towering Mar Charbel statue overlooking Faraya and the Chabrouh Dam. The golden sunset here is one of Lebanon’s most spiritual and scenic moments.
