Hateumim Cave

"Twins Cave," is a karst cave created by a long process of dissolving limestone bedrock by water, a process that created many stalactites therein. In the 19th century, this cave was designated by the residents of the region "Um A-Tawamin Cave", meaning the Twins Cave.

The cave is located on the northern bank of Nahal Ha-Ma'ara, in the Nahal Ha-Ma'ara reserve, which is located on the western fringes of the Jerusalem hills. At the mouth of the cave, there grows a big, and, impressive Fig Tree, and surrounding the cave is Mediterranean wilderness including Oak Trees, Carob Trees, and Pistacia lentiscus.
