Cave of Archers

Cave of Archers is a rock art shelter of the Gilf Kebir National Park in the New Valley Governorate, Egypt.

It is located on the south-eastern slopes of Gilf Kebir, 40 m to the south of the Cave of Swimmers.

[1] The south-west oriented entrance of the cave is 10 m wide and 5 m tall and opens into a large cupuliform formation modeled in the sandstone.

The rock paintings of the cave feature a few panels of persons with bows and arrows as well as a herd of bovines.

Due to bedrock deterioration the sandstone is heavily weathered or fragmented and only a few painted sandstone blocks remain.
