A former dovecote dating from the Middle Ages, a double-chambered cave with interior walls carved with 800 triangular niches
On the road to Iraq al-Amir, as you drive through a gorge full of vegetation, you will notice a nursery and a small café on the side of the road. Looking up at the mountain, what looks like a cave dwelling with its cut-out windows stands out from the rock. It is in fact an old dovecote dating from the Middle Ages, a cave with two chambers. The interior walls are entirely carved with 800 triangular niches that provided a resting place for the pigeons. The cave is reached by a staircase that starts from the nursery.
