Al Hoota Cave is located in Al Hamra Wilayat, within the Al Dakhiliyah Governorate of Oman. It lies at the foot of Jebel Shams, the highest mountain in Oman, approximately 2 kilometers from Al Hamra town and about 200 kilometers southwest of Muscat.
The cave is surrounded by the rugged landscapes of the Al Hajar Mountains and is renowned for its stunning limestone formations, including stalactites and stalagmites.
