There are three points of entry; two are of natural origin and the third is man-made, having been opened in 1960. The cave can be divided into two main areas, the tourist sector known as the lower galleries and the remaining area of the cave which as yet not accessible to the public is known as the Upper and New galleries

There you can enjoy a quiet evening, with typical teas, Arabic pastries, and several different types of coffees, mix drinks and other milk shakes.
