Good to Know

Wear comfortable shoes and bring a light layer (Jeita is cool inside). Cameras aren’t allowed inside the grotto (cloakroom provided). Modest clothing is appreciated at the Harissa shrine. Because it’s a private tour, the pace and timing are yours — most tours start around 9:00 AM, but just let us know if you’d prefer a different time.
