Short description and geology
The entrance of this cave has 68 meters’ width and 98 meters’ height that can be seen from distance. The cave is about two hundred meters deep. Since it is a corrasional cave, no stalactite or stalagmites can be seen in it. But there are magnificent formations on the walls called "mummies". They look like stalactites hanging from the wall. It is told that in the past they were used to heal bone diseases. Ayoub mountain has dacites and andesite stones and is considered a volcanic mountain. Many ages ago, during what is known as Pleistocene Age, water has clashed lava, which has led to the fracture of the stones. As time has gone by, due to erosion by water and wind and sand blowing of the dacite stones, jags and honeycomb holes have formed on the walls.
