Jeita (also spelled Jaaita or Jaita; Arabic: جعيتا Jʿītā) is a Lebanese town located in the Keserwan District in the Mount Lebanon Governorate. The town is about 20 kilometres (12 mi) north of Beirut.[1] It is famous for the Jeita Grotto which is a popular tourist attraction, as well as the Nahr al-Kalb, a river that runs from a spring near the grotto emptying into the Mediterranean Sea. Most of the town's inhabitants are Maronites.
The name Jeita is derived from the Aramaic word Ge’itta, meaning "roar" or "noise".[2]
