"Meditation Cave" in Ajloun: A Natural Space Offering a Unique Artistic and Touristic Experience - Jordan News
The "Meditation Cave" initiative in the Kofranjah District of Ajloun Governorate offers a unique artistic and touristic experience, blending the beauty of nature with the depth of human introspection. Nestled within this space is the 'Museum of Suggestive Rocks,' which features rare natural rock formations that reflect the identity and spirit of the area. اضافة اعلان Dr. Safah Al-Sabah, founder of the cave, told the Jordan News Agency (Petra) on Tuesday that the cave was created nearly ten years ago using handmade tools and natural elements sourced from the Ajloun environment. It was designed as an artistic installation inspired by nature, with the aim of offering visitors a space for meditation and mental tranquility through carefully crafted symbols and forms. He added that the "Meditation Cave" has become a destination for visitors from all over the Kingdom due to its symbolic national and spiritual value, as well as its rare visual scenery that harmonizes with Ajloun's breathtaking natural landscape. Al-Sabah explained that the cave is an exceptional concept born from years of exploration in Ajloun, where rare natural rocks were collected and arranged in stunning artistic formations, evoking shapes and meanings tied to the essence of place and time. The museum, he said, aims to bring together these suggestive rocks in a single location to form a permanent open-air exhibit for visitors from Jordan and abroad. He called on residents of the governorate to support the initiative by donating meaningful rocks or guiding the team to potential collection sites. He noted that the cave merges elements of environmental and contemplative tourism, creating a unique attraction. The rocks on display, he emphasized, are not mere stones—they are natural messages imbued with expressive symbolism that resonates with visitors' emotions and the memory of the place. Al-Sabah urged the promotion of such creative initiatives that enrich the tourism experience and offer distinctive content beyond the mainstream—especially in a governorate as naturally and culturally diverse as Ajloun. — (Petra)
