Cave of the Seven Sleepers
Visit the Cave Where 7 Boys Stayed for 309 Years
According to Islamic faith, this place refers to a tale that follows a group of young men who were exiled from their homes due to their faith in Allah. Finding refuge in a cave, they were granted a prolonged slumber by Allah, spanning 309 lunar years (equivalent to 300 solar years). Upon awakening, they perceived their rest as merely a day or half a day. This narrative is chronicled in the 18th surah of the Qur'an, known as the "Surah of the Cave" (SÅ«rat al-kahf).
