Lebanese Cedar and Grotto

Lebanese tourist attractions:

Cedar Forest- These trees that were inducted in the work heritage site in 1998 have a historical significance to all of the arab population, including Lebanese, Assyrians, Egyptians and Persians. These trees are heavily protected as it is only found in that part of the world and so it has a strong representation of tourism as it is found no where else other than in the cold Lebanese mountains. The Lebanese flag has a cedar tree on it so that shows how these historic trees are looked at.


Jeita Grotto- Is a cave/underground river that was discovered by a Lebanese speleologists in 1958. It is a national symbol and massive tourist destination, on top of that it was the finalist in one of the " New 7 wonders of the world ". It gets around 280,000 visitors per year form
