Ma'arat Hanetifim, Jerusalem

Ma'arat Hanetifim is a stalactite cave and is also called the Sorek Cave. The cave is 82 meters long and 60 meters wide. The cave was discovered accidentally by workers blasting nearby. When we visited the cave I found it absolutely amazing. The stalactites formed various objects resembling things seen every day. From the ceiling the crystals were at least four feet long. We were able to escape the heat in this equally beautiful cave any other time of the year. During the winter water drops can also be heard. The cave was a great site to see and is good that is still standing.
