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.

هل يجب أن تكون محايداً دائماً؟
