Considered once one of the most visited sites, Jeita Grottos, located 20 km from Beirut, in the valley of Nahr El Kalb - Kessrouan, were made open to the public after complete restoration. These natural master pieces were discovered in 1836 by an American national called Thompson. They were then systematically explored for the first time in 1873, then in 1902, 1927 and in the fifties. These grottos are impressive by the diversity of their forms, the importance and the number of stalactites and stalagmites they comprise, which were given imaginary original names inspired by the explorers.

These caverns are accessible by panoramic cable cars while some parts of them can be visited by a small boat. The grottos are composed of lower and upper galleries.
