Al Hoota Cave

Al Hoota Cave[1] (Arabic: كَهْف ٱلْهُوْتَه, romanized: Kahf Al-Hūtah) is a cave located in Al-Hamra', Ad Dakhiliyah Governorate, Oman, that is 5 km (3.1 miles) long.

The cave was first discovered by locals several hundred years ago and was officially opened as a tourist destination in December 2006.

The cave houses over 100 animal species, including Omani blind cave fish, bats, arthropods, mollusks, snails and water beetles.
