Trip 647: Caving in Rouiss Cave


One of the activities that can be done with all the weather conditions is Caving.

Join the Footprints Nature Club to explore this Saturday 16 August 2025 the second largest cave in Lebanon after the Jeita Cave.

Caving in Rouiss Cave - Akoura

The beauty of the cave is designed not by a human artist, but by water. Stalactites and Stalagmites are formed all over our way in the cave giving a natural beauty that is really indescribable.

Who can do it? All of you hikers who are not claustrophobic (afraid of closed places) or Achluophobic (afraid of darkness) will enjoy this activity and totally new experience to the max. It will not be difficult as it is an amateur exploration.

Our exploration will be of a Medium Level (6 to 7/10 – 4 to 5 KMs – 2 to 3 hours)...

Don't forget to get extra clothes and shoes since you will get covered with mud after this adventure...
