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.
