I went to Jeida grotto, Byblos and Bartroun with Hassan. He picked me up at 12.30 and we got back at 7pm, including an ice-cream stop at the best spot! At $160 it was expensive but saw part of Lebabon outside Beirut which i would not have been able to access on my own. I declined the option of a local guide at Byblos as there was only 1/2 hour until closing and that was fine as Hassan is very knowledgable. He helped me scramble down into the impressive ruined grave. I also enjoyed chatting with Hassan about the reality of living in Lebanon. The grotto was amazing!
