Kef Toghobeit Cave

Kef Toghobeit Cave is the next name on the list of the most beautiful caves in Morocco. Kef Toghobeit is a karst cave near the Bab Taza settlement in Chefchaouen Province, Tanger-Tetouan-Al Hoceima, Morocco. It is the deepest cave in Morocco and the third deepest in Africa, with a length of 4,078 meters and a depth of 722 meters. Despite the fact that Kef Toghobeit has been extensively explored, its full extent is unknown. Indeed, the karst topography of the Rif mountain range, where the cave begins, has only recently been mapped - there are only about 1000 caves known in Morocco, and geology suggests that there are many more.

In a 30,000 square kilometer area of Karst formation in Morocco, Kef Toghobeit Cave is just one of over a thousand caves. The cave was formed in the Rif mountain range, which is mostly made up of soft minerals like dolomite and limestone. The annual precipitation rate is 600 to 1000 mm due to winter snowfall and rainfall. Heavy rain erodes the soft minerals quickly, forming deep caves where the water wore away at the stone.
