Whether you are a tourist, a history enthusiast or
just a curious traveler, one of the highlights to visit at the eastern province is the Alqarah mountain found at AlAhsa of Alhofuf.
In local dialect, known as "Jabal al Qarah". It is also called "Al Shaban Mountain," “Land of Civilization”, and some also called it as “Judas Cave.” It is indeed an UNESCO world heritage site.
It is a sweet escape from the city. Inside the mountains, you will see very nice caves that have cool temperature bringing you back to how ancient people use these for comfort from the hot weather outside. It is a nature crafted mountains and well maintained by the management.
The entrance fee is 50 Saudi Riyals. Upon going inside, you will pass by a small museum where early civilization is shown. There are also tour guides that will tell you yhe story of a local legend includes the role of the mountain in the life of the Prophet Ibrahim, King of Dilmun, sculpted structures related to Adam’s tale are also found. Information on Al Ahsa’s agriculture and irrigation will also be learned here.
The hospitality of the young people will greet and provide you with local snacks such as coffee Arabia and dates not to mention the knowledge they will also provide you.
