Itinerary description

|
Show original
Route from the town of Tarbek to the Hoq cave. During the tour we will pass through areas with ghostly rocky landscapes and the presence of local vegetation such as desert roses. Although it has a steep section, the route itself is not very hard but you should avoid the hours when the sun is high. The cave itself has magnificent formations and an accessible route of around 1 km. You have to bring your own lighting. If this cave were in Europe it would be a first-class attraction.
