Jeita Grotto, a stunning system of two interconnected limestone caves, offers a captivating natural spectacle in Lebanon. Accessibility is generally good, with cable car or train transport to the entrances; the upper grotto involves walking, while the lower grotto is explored by boat, which may pose challenges for those with significant mobility issues. Visits are typically group-oriented and not fully solo, often including an audio guide or led tour within the caves. Seasonal restrictions usually include closures on Mondays, and the lower grotto's boat ride might be suspended during heavy rains or high water levels in winter, so checking the official website before visiting is advisable. The approximate cost is usually an entrance fee of $10-20 USD, covering access to both grottos and transport. A typical visit duration is around 2-3 hours to fully experience both caves and the surrounding park. Photography is strictly prohibited inside the grottos to preserve their pristine condition, and visitors should be prepared for cool temperatures within the caves.
