Al-Qara mountain, The Jabal Al Qarah, Cave of civilization, جبل القره Al Hasa, Saudi Arabia

Jabl Al-Qarah (Arabic = جبل القارة, which means mountain of Al-Qarah) is a mesa that stands about 75 meters (246 ft) high,[1] with a maximum elevation of 225 meters above sea level[3]. It has many caves with very cool air inside. Unlike many cases, these were formed by subaerial weathering rather than dissolution, and as a result have a highly distinctive shape.[1] The mountain attracts many people especially from nearby villages, and has been targeted for additional tourist development.[4] Although there are no other hills for a considerable distance,[5] Jabl Al-Qarah is an outlier of the larger Shedgum Plateau.[1]

The caves, which include 28 tall linear passageways totaling 1.5 kilometers (0.93 mi) in length, have long been a site of commerce.[1] Some caves of Jabl Al-Garah have traditionally been the site of the workshops of local traditional potters, who are known for the quality of their wares.[6][5]
