Hoq Cave or Hala Cave in the island of Socotra, Yemen is an amazing tourist destination. The cave located on a foothill behind the village of Hala east of the island. On the road to the cave, there is a forest of rare and strange plants, in addition to birds and insects. To reach the foothill, you need about an hour that depends on your speed and how many times you stop to take pictures!

Inside Hoq Cave
The temperature drops once you got to the cave mouth, as you walk inside the cave, it getting cooler and cooler, the same thing with light, where you will find yourself in total dark and dead silence in the middle of nowhere!

Numbers of limestone stalagmites and stalactites spread in every inch of the cave, those amazing shapes have been forming thousands of years ago by drops of water falling from the wet ceiling. The drops also make many small pools all over the cave.

Hoq cave or Hala Cave is a great place for adventurers and hiking lovers. The total trip takes about 4 hours guided by a local guide from the village for small fees.

Socotra Island (Where the cave is located) is an amazing and unique island in the Indian Ocean South of Yemen. This rare island contains many rare plants, trees, insects, reptiles, birds and animals; many of the creatures in the island of Socotra cannot be found anywhere on earth except Socotra!
