There are tours that start every full hour. Currently, the train is not operating because under maintenance. We did not see any signs of work on the railways or the train though. The walk instead is not so far, but the price is very steep just for visiting the cave (7.3 OMR per adult). In the cave you don't have so many stalagmites and stalactites as there is not much water. There are supposed to be spiders and bats living in the cave, however we didn't see any. The guide didn't seem to have any joy leading us through the cave. The little museum is quite nice during the wait for the start of the tour. How you like the cave really depends on what you have seen so far. If you have seen big caves before, you can easily skip Al Hoota cave without missing much.
