The cave is 4 m (13 ft) high and 15 m (49 ft) wide. About half a meter above the ground there are rock paintings of a herd of differently drawn cattle and a farmstead representing a rare example of cattle paintings in the Gilf Kebir that otherwise are abundant in the nearby Jebel Ouenat.[2] These Neolithic rock paintings testify the favorable climatic conditions of life during the African humid period much different from the present one.[3]
