This is a form of Travertine (not being a Geologist I am open to correction) found at the top end of Wadi Ghul.

Amazing.
Thank you – I have normally seen this stuff in caves, which is why I was not sure what the technical term for the stuff was. Surprisingly it can range from very hard to almost sponge like.

Beautiful. Like melting rocks!
🙂
Thanks,
It forms due to the abundance of hot springs found all over this area.
