Jeita grotto

This is a set of 2 interconnected caves north of Beirut. They are limestone karst caves. That is, they are formed by dissolving the limestone by water passing through.
The upper cave is among the mist beautiful i have seen, and it claims the largest known stalactite in the world. Unfortunately, photography is not allowed in the upper cave.
The lower cave is toured by boat as the cave is flooded, except, that is, in winter or other times of high water when none of it is accessible. These pictures are all in the lower cave.Read more
