Majlis al Jinn travel tips and stories. Vacations ideas, cruises, spa and resorts

It is the second largest underground chamber in the world – big enough to fit ten jumbo jets into the floor space (also it is gigantic enough that the great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt would just about fit inside). Located in a remote area of the Selma Plateau at 1,380 m above sea level in the Sultanate of Oman, Majlis al Jinn is a single chamber measuring about 300 m by 200 m, with a domed ceiling 120 m high. The deepest part of the cave is 178 m. The volume of the chamber is approximately 4,000,000 m³ and covering an area of around 60,000m².

This is an extremely difficult cave to negotiate, and it is important that the expedition is not undertaken lightly and without professional guidance and specialist equipment. This is an amazing cave that can be accessed through a fissure in the ground with a rope. To enter the cave, one must initially be lowered down on a free-hanging rappel. There are two drops into the chamber: one of over 150m and the other of almost 120m.
