Jabal Al Qara Mountains and Caves - Jabal Alqara Caves and Mountains Great place to visit either solo or a group. It's best to go there in the evenings after 3 PM. There is usually a long queue to get in early so standing in queue around 3 pm will be ideal. As soon as you enter you will come across a museum with some artifacts and stone statues. There are a lot of boards with history of the mountains mentioned on them, make sure you read them. It throws light on Islamic history. They have a small coffee shop and a gift shop to buy memorabilia. They also have some restaurants near the entrance to dine after your visit. I had food at an Egyptian restaurant. It was decent. Fridays and public holidays would be ideal to visit.

Nice tour in a very nice landscape - An interesting and intensive day. Very interesting scenery in Al Ahsa. Good service-minded driver/guide with careful driving (by saudi standards....)

Drive yourself to this beautiful place. - If you do this tour you are paying for a very expensive taxi especially if you are a solo traveller. USD560 was extortionate. Al qara hills cave complex is beautiful. The jawatha mosque was closed. Nice place but drive yourself. Much cheaper.

Not value for money. - So, the al qara caves were beautiful. Well worth a visit. This tour however is not worth paying for if you are a solo traveller. I effectively paid for a very expensive taxi service. The taxi driver Adnan was a very sweet Pakistani guy who was very friendly, kind and I felt very safe with him. But I didn’t have a tour guide. I went around the caves by myself. For USD560 as a solo traveller I would recommend getting a taxi.

If you are willing to pay for a driver...but don't expect a guide - For this fee, I expected a knowledgeable guide...turned out to be a driver service with no guidance provided at the destination...the guide just purchased an entry pass and sent me in with no explanation (while he sat in the car).
