Al-Qarah

Al-Garah (Arabic: قَرْيَة ٱلْقَارَة, romanized: Qaryat Al-Qārah) is a village in Al-Ahsa, in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.

Unlike many caves, these were formed by subaerial weathering rather than dissolution, and as a result have a highly distinctive shape.

[1] The mountain attracts many people especially from nearby villages, and has been targeted for additional touristic development.

[3] Although there are no other hills for a considerable distance,[4] Jabal Al-Qarah is an outlier of the larger Shedgum Plateau.

[1] The caves, which include 28 tall linear passageways totaling 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) in length, have long been a site of commerce.
