Cave of Thor, Religious cave in Mecca Province, Saudi Arabia
The Cave of Thor stands on Mount Thawr, reaching 760 meters in height with two entrances on its eastern and western sides.
In 622 CE, Prophet Muhammad and Abu Bakr sought refuge in this cave for three days during their migration from Mecca to Medina.
The cave holds profound religious value for Muslims worldwide as a symbol of divine protection during a pivotal moment in Islamic history.
The cave entrance measures 1.25 meters in height and 3.5 meters in width, requiring visitors to carefully navigate the narrow passages inside.
A spider web at the cave entrance deterred pursuers searching for Prophet Muhammad, leading to the preservation of this geological formation.
