The Jeita Grotto is a system of two separate, but interconnected, karstic limestone caves spanning an overall length of nearly 9 kilometers. Located in the Nahr al-Kalb valley within the locality of Jeita, 18 kilometers north of the Lebanese capital Beirut, these caves were discovered in 1836 by Reverend William Thomson and have since become a popular tourist attraction in Lebanon. Due to its unique geological features, it was a top finalist for the Seven Wonders of Nature. Visitors can explore the lower grotto via a boat ride on a subterranean lake, while the upper galleries, filled with a variety of stalactites, stalagmites, and columns, can be observed on foot. The site is also home to souvenir shops offering a range of local crafts and mementos. These shops are perfect for tourists looking to purchase a tangible memory of their visit to this natural wonder. The Jeita Grotto provides an educational and visually stunning experience, combining the tranquility of the underground landscape with the bustling activity of the souvenir stalls.
