History

Description

كهف بو هبان (Bu Haban Cave) is listed on any list of tourist caves in Oman. We actually have no idea why, the cave is unspectacular and not developed at all. The only idea we had was the existence of a local guide, who can be seen on numerous videos on Google, but his name is never given. The text of the description is always the same, and more or less nonsensical, telling about "many rock formations of varying colours". Obviously caves are holes in rock formations, and rocks have varying colours, that's the most stupid no-brainer we ever heard about a cave. As far as we know it is a small undeveloped cave which is too low to walk upright, and there is a local guide who brings visitors into the cave and back.
