Saudi Arabia is a country with rarest wild caves. Its caves have great exploration potential with unsurpassed beauty that provides unending curiosity to a caver.
Ain Heet cave or Dahl Heet is one such with an underground lake in its interior chambers. Ain Heet cave (other variants of the name are Hith, Heeth or Hit) situates at the face of Mount Al Jubayl in Wadi As Sulay in a small village called Heet in Riyadh. Between Riyadh and Al Kharj road, it is one of the easily accessible cave in the vicinity of Riyadh.
Like most cave systems, Ain Heet cave too is formed in the limestone by dissolving the anhydrite minerals inside. It was said to be the area where the oil explorers found the first surface outcrop of anhydrite minerals in Saudi Arabia. Most part of the entrance seems fragile and freshly downed limestone pieces were found at the entrance.
