About About the place

Ahl Al Kahf is a cave located near Amman, Jordan, in the Sahab area, specifically in a region called Al Raqeem. It is a site of considerable religious importance, as many believe it to be the cave where the 'People of the Cave' (Ahl Al Kahf) sought refuge, a story recounted in both the Quran and the Bible. The Jordanian government has worked to preserve the site, which includes a modern mosque and facilities. Visitors often note the spiritual atmosphere and the opportunity to learn about the historical and religious context of the story. A caretaker is often present to provide explanations and sell informational materials.

This is an excellent restaurant which is the new opening in the town and also the talk of the town. The delicacies prepared here are awesome and delicious. The chefs have all come from outside and serve the best of gourmet food. It was exotic and tasty array of food and I highly recommend this place to everyone. Just awesome!!

The cave is one of the major highlights of this place and once we were inside the cave, it was above and beyond our expectations. The views are stunning and we were lucky to see the heavens light from far. The weather inside can be a little humid but the beauty of it makes it worth it. Must visit place.

While making our itinerary, we included this place towards the end and thought that incase we are behind time, we will skip it. But thank God, we didn’t because it was one of the greatest places to visit. Easily accessible, conveniently located, gorgeous location and the easy navigation for the entire tour of this place made it much more fun and enjoyable. I will suggest everyone to please visit this place.

We were so excited to visit this place but were thoroughly disappointed while reaching and looking at the mismanaged affair. The place was crowded with tourists and there was no system to arrange them. The staff was also very rude.

It was one the greatest experiences we had. We loved the place and more than the place the people were simply amazing. The hospitality and the warmth provided to us was beyond expectation and we are forever grateful.

One of the most interesting parts of this restaurant is the spectacular view of the Fort it offers which makes this place a definite must see. But apart from that, the food here is really nice and strangely quite affordable. The ambience is retro and vintage and so lovely and warm. We really liked it here. It was great overall.
