Landmark- Jeita Grotto

Located in Lebanon, the Grotto consists of two limestone caves just north of Beirut. The two are each on their own marvelous to look at, but combined form a proverbial geological treasure trove. The bottom one includes a river (which is the only way to access the lower cave). This river is an invaluable source of freshwater for a large portion of Lebonese people. It is currently competing to be one of the new 7 wonders of the world. Fingers crossed, people.
