What to expect
Lot's Cave is a historic site with a profound connection to the biblical narrative of Lot, the nephew of Prophet Abraham. The cave is accompanied by the remnants of a Byzantine church and has traces of a reservoir and mosaic fragments. Visitors can explore the cave and the surrounding monastic complex, which includes a triple-domed basilica church with intricate mosaic pavements and a large water reservoir. The site has been considered sacred for millennia and offers a unique perspective on the intertwined histories of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. The cave is believed to be the place where Lot and his daughters took refuge after the destruction of Sodom, and it has yielded archaeological finds that reveal a long history of occupation
