Caves of Jethro

Caves of Jethro, archaeological site in Saudi Arabia

Caves of Jethro is a cave system in Tabuk Province that functioned as a human settlement, featuring multiple natural rock chambers of varying sizes. The site displays worked stone surfaces and traditional entry features throughout its interconnected spaces.

The caves served as dwellings for settled groups over extended periods, who made use of the natural geological formations for shelter. Occupation continued across different historical eras, demonstrating continuous human adaptation to living within this rock environment.

The caves served as a natural home for communities that adapted to living within the rock chambers over many generations. Today, the carved spaces and marks show how people organized their daily lives in this unusual settlement.

Access to the caves requires careful movement through tight passages and uneven rock surfaces, making proper footwear and a flashlight essential. It is wise to check conditions beforehand, as weather and rock formations can affect accessibility and visibility throughout the site.

The caves display unusual dimensions and arrangements that suggest specialized uses for different purposes that remain poorly documented in historical records. Researchers continue to uncover new details about the precise function of individual chambers and their original significance.
