On this guided tour of Al Hoota Cave, we'll explore inside this natural treasure formed over millions of years. A window into the past of this region in the north-east of Oman.
At the indicated time, we'll meet at the entrance to Al Hoota Cave to begin a guided tour inside one of the jewels of Al Hamra.
This natural wonder, located at the foot of Jebel Shams, the highest mountain in Oman, is more than 2 million years old, a living testimony to the power of nature and the passage of time! Did you know that it was created by the dissolution of limestone by acidic water? In fact, this phenomenon continues to sculpt the underground landscape.
The Al Hoota cave stretches over 4.5 kilometres (2.7 miles), although only 500 metres (1,640 feet) are open to the public. This short tour will take you through an underground landscape full of geological formations such as stalactites, stalagmites and columns that have taken millions of years to form. It will be fascinating!!
We'll also discover one of the four lakes in the cave. We'll approach this vast body of water, 800 metres (2,624 feet) long and 15 metres (49 feet) deep. Did you know that it's home to a very interesting fish? We'll tell you about it during the visit! We might also find bats, arthropods, molluscs, spiders and water beetles.
After an hour, we'll leave the cave and bring the tour to an end.
