Grotte du Macchabée

The Macchabee Cave extends through multiple galleries within the Djurdjura mountain range, featuring natural formations at an elevation of 1070 meters.

Colonial authorities officially documented the cave's existence in 1923, marking the beginning of regular explorations and scientific investigations in the area.

Local residents maintain various accounts about the preserved body inside the cave, including tales of a Robin Hood figure who redistributed wealth to poor communities.

The cave entrance requires climbing a steep cliff face of approximately 100 meters, with intricate corridors forming a complex network inside.

The cave contains a naturally preserved human body that has remained intact for several centuries due to specific environmental conditions.
