This post is a part of the April A-Z Challenge.
Now that we are talking about caves, lets stick to it for sometime. From Iceland to Lebanon. And devoid of Ice. Still quite beautiful.
Located about 18 kms from the capital city of Beirut, Jeita Grotto is an extensive cave system. It is a combination of 2 different cave systems with a combined length of nearly 9 kms. These limestone caves were inhabited in prehistoric times and now attracts tourists. It is a big attraction in Lebanon owing to its stalactite formations and bright colours. This system is home to the biggest stalactite on earth.

There is also a lower cave which can be visited only by boats. The reason being it is an underground river which provides the million lebanese with fresh drinking water.
Jeita Grotto was one of the nominees for the New 7 Natural wonders of the world. It is quite obvious why it got that distinction. Lebanon is apparently not just famous for having the most beautiful girls. There is abundant natural beauty a well.
