About this audio guide
This guide to Heet Cave, a limestone sinkhole south of Riyadh, follows the people who scramble down its boulder slope to swim in cold, clear water in the middle of the desert. It looks back to a time when the pool was a working water source that convoys and a king's forces relied on, and ahead to the cave divers who carry lights into its flooded passages. Best heard on the rim before you start the climb down.
