Where Is Ain Heet Cave Located?

Ain Heet Cave is located thirty km south of Riyadh City, the capital of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, on the road leading to Al-Kharj Governorate. The cave’s opening is 38.53 m long and 15.64 m wide, and its depth reaches approximately 390 m. At the bottom of the cave, there is a spring that flows with water throughout the year.

Ain Heet serves as an entry point to a wide underground aquifer located deep beneath the surface of Saudi Arabia.

The cave holds special significance in the modern history of Saudi Arabia: When the Founding King Abdulaziz Bin Abdulrahman Al Saud approached Riyadh, he found the water sources surrounded, so he turned to Heet to provide a water source for his forces.
