Just 30 km southeast of Riyadh, on the road leading to Al-Kharj, lies Heet Cave — a breathtaking geological wonder steeped in history and mystery. Shaped like a rocky sinkhole with a depth of nearly 390 meters, the cave is believed to have formed after a celestial impact, creating a natural marvel that has fascinated explorers for generations.
Inside, a natural spring flows with fresh groundwater year-round, making it an ancient lifeline for nearby communities. Historically, Heet Cave also played a vital role during the unification of Saudi Arabia, serving as a strategic water source for King Abdulaziz’s forces more than 90 years ago.
