Caves Exploring

The cave is over 3 km long, with a small lake at the end. Another cave, Dagub, is located on the southern shore, behind the Hayf and Zahaq dunes. This cave can be easily reached by car. At the entrance, you will find the most valuable liquid of the southern part of the Island – pure water.
