Meshini trusted guide for tourism

A jewel of tourism in Lebanon, it has been described as a miracle and a wonder. It is considered one of the most famous caves and grottos in Lebanon, a creation of the Almighty. It is one of the rarest natural formations and one of the most important tourist attractions in Lebanon. It reached the finals of the New7Wonders of Nature competition. It was discovered by chance in 1836 and was opened to the public in 1958. The cave contains an underground river and is characterized by narrow passages, chambers, and structures that are unlike anything else. Water has seeped into the cave from the Lebanese highlands, forming the longest crystal formations in the world, which extend up to 108 meters. It also has the tallest upward crystal structure from the floor toward the ceiling, reaching a height of 26 meters. The cave is located 20 kilometers north of the capital, Beirut.

The cave is divided into two levels: The upper dry cave was discovered in 1958, and its total length is 2,130 meters. Visitors can access 750 meters of it through specially designed passageways.
