Gara Cave .. See the beauty of nature at a depth of 50 meters

December 24, 1873, a German explorer called "Gerhard Rolfs" arrived in an isolated area in the Western Desert of Egypt, specifically in the New Valley and Assiut. After he wandered a lot, he reached the Eocene plateau, to surprise a strange gate in the ground, so he decided to enter it. You meet dozens of human inscriptions, which appear to some of the ancient humans who inhabited that area, or they may have passed by on one of their travels.

Then there was no news about the cave, due to lack of interest in it for another 115 years, until the scientist "Carlo Bergmann" found it in 1989.

Al-Jarrah cave is a group of caves, located at a depth of more than 50 meters down the ground in the heart of the Western Desert between the Bahariya oases and Assiut Governorate, specifically in the middle of the Farafra desert, and near Wadi Muharraq after the White Desert Reserve, about 7 kilometers east towards Assiut, all three Recent decades have witnessed many scientific visits to Egyptian and Western universities, starting with the Egyptian universities of Ain Shams, Finnish Helsinki, and American Georgia, in order to cut off the geological and archaeological importance of this rare plateau.

Once the visitor treads his feet inside the cave, who will have to enter his head lowered because he is in the ground, he will find a large room of about 1,300 square meters, connected to a smaller room through a narrow corridor, decorated with some inscriptions of the Neolithic man, in addition to the inscriptions of some animals such as ostriches and deer The crests are large, medium, and small horns and chickens. 133 drawings have been identified for animals and creatures that lived in this lifeless region at the present time
