Majlis al Jinn, Limestone cave in Muscat Governorate, Oman
The cave features three natural openings in its ceiling and contains a massive chamber measuring 310 meters long and 225 meters wide.
Don Davison first descended into the cave in 1983 during a geological water resources survey, marking its initial documented exploration.
Local residents named it Majlis al Jinn, meaning Council of Spirits, based on traditional folklore about supernatural inhabitants within its depths.
Accessing the cave requires a challenging 1,300-meter hike across mountain trails and specialized rope equipment for the 120-meter vertical descent.
The cavern chamber has a volume of 4 million cubic meters and can theoretically accommodate twelve Boeing 747 aircraft or 1,600 tourist buses.
