Jeita Grotto is a stunning network of karst caves carved by the Nahr el-Kalb river. Visitors ride a small train through the upper gallery, a dry cavern filled with towering stalactites and stalagmites, including the world's longest stalactite at 8.2 meters. A boat ride then glides through the lower gallery, a flooded cave with crystal-clear water and dramatic reflections. The caves are illuminated to highlight the natural formations, creating an otherworldly experience. This natural wonder is a must-see for its geological significance and breathtaking beauty.
