Al Nahwa Cave

Al Nahwa Cave, also known as Kahf Aldaaba, is a cave and archaeological site located in Nahwa, northern Khor Fakkan, in the Emirate of Sharjah. Archaeological remains were discovered here in the 1930s. The cave features a large chamber with domes, and most of the cavity is spacious enough to stand upright. Visitors can reach the cave by driving through a flat gravel plain, as it is connected to the road. At the entrance, a few palm trees grow, benefiting from the water and shade provided by the surrounding Wadi Madha.
