アルカラ山-文明の国-アルアサ

We happened to have a spare afternoon while on a business trip and ventured out here for an afternoon. From our hotel near Khobar it took about 2 hours to drive out. We spent about 3 hours in total (30mins of that was getting a bite to eat at the nearby restaurant before heading back.) Although it wasn’t much of an issue, I’d advise to plan your return so you get back to Dharhan/Damman before the rush hour at 1700-ish. Most of the staff are able to speak English or at least make themselves understood and the man selling the tickets and ladies in the shop were very friendly. After paying for your tickets you go up to the second floor where you firstly receive a short talk about Saudi’s history and religion with three extremely friendly young volunteers. After that you pass through a small exhibition with replica artefacts found in the region. I was marvelled reading about some of the items which dated back 1000s of years. After that you’re let loose to wander around the caves and take photographs. The place wasn’t overly busy and you could take your time, to take it all in. Plus the caves are temperature wise - super cool. Very worth the afternoon’s visit

Sequence of Caves .. Nice amazing place to visit. Entry tickets can be prachased on counter. No advance and online purchase is required. Adult is 50SAR ànd kids under 12 are half.

The place is quite and nice, the formation of the caves are very pretty. The kids were little terrific because of the dark, however it was very normal. The price however doesn't justify what we had a look on. Even if you miss it, there wondering be any regrets.. but since it was something to look into hofuf we went for it.

Nice place for a visit, tickets are overpriced though for the thing u see. Looks nice after the revamp of the whole place Very lost atmosphere inside, no signages inside where to go n where not to go, etc etc

Excellent place to visit. Parking is ample with plenty of signs to show you where to go. The staff are very friendly with tourist shops inside the reception area. Price was 75 SAR per person which is reasonable. Inside is a short but very detailed history of the area and people of importance from the region. Some nice artefacts are on display. The cave area is amazing and extremely cool once inside. Take some water as you walk round as the walk to and from can be quite hot. Highly recommended.
