Land Of Civilizations - Judas Cave - Al Ahsa

There is one attraction here in Al Ahsa, Hofuf, area well known for it's biblical history, and it is called the Judas Cave.  It was believed that this cave is where Judas hided after he betrayed Christ.  Just recently, the Saudi Government developed this site to a tourist attraction.  And now, we are on our way to check it out.
