There is also a hall with impressive stalagmites and stalagtites, e.g. the Eagle Obelisk. Tourists are transported in electric boats. The lower cave is closed in winter due to high water level. The upper cave in Jeita Grotto was discovered in 1958 and it is located about 60 m above the lower cave. It is 2130 m long but only 750 m are accessible via special pathways. Visitors of this cave have the option to see various crystal shapes, such as stalagmites and stalagtites, columns, ponds, curtains and drapery.
