Discover the Majestic Taiq Cave: A Hiker's Paradise

Getting There

• Walking

  Start at the Mirbat Souq, which is centrally located in Mirbat. From the Souq, head southeast on the main road (Route 31) towards Kizetakhayf. Continue walking for approximately 2 kilometers until you reach the intersection with the road sign towards Taiq Cave. The path may be slightly uphill, so take your time. Once at the intersection, you will see a small sign indicating the direction to Taiq Cave. Turn left and follow the road for about 1 kilometer, where you will find a trailhead leading into the mountains towards the cave. The trail is marked, but be prepared for some rocky terrain.

• Bicycle

  Rent a bicycle from one of the local shops near the Mirbat Souq. Start your journey by cycling southeast along Route 31 towards Kizetakhayf. After cycling for approximately 2 kilometers, you will reach an intersection. Look for the sign indicating the direction to Taiq Cave. Turn left at the intersection and continue for about 1 kilometer. You will see the trailhead on your right, which leads to Taiq Cave. Please be cautious as the terrain can be uneven and requires good balance.

• Taxi or Local Transport

  If you prefer not to walk or cycle, you can hire a local taxi. Start at a well-known spot in Mirbat, such as the Mirbat Fort. Ask the driver to take you to Taiq Cave, providing them with the coordinates: Latitude 17.153935, Longitude 54.623475. The taxi will take you as close as possible to the cave entrance. Expect the ride to take around 15-20 minutes. Once dropped off, you may still need to walk a short distance to reach the cave entrance, following any visible trails.
