Majlis Al Jinn cave, which counts as one of the 10 largest subterranean caves in the world, is being developed as an adventure tourism hub.
The cave – which is large enough to fit 12 Boeing 747 jets wing to wing – is roughly two hours from Muscat. Speaking at WTM London, his excellency Azzan bin Qasim Al Busaidi, undersecretary for tourism, said the experience offered was perfect for the adventure market.
The country is also creating a major new geological park, Al-Hajar Geological Park. Al Busaidi said access to a large area, rich in geological assets, was being unlocked for visitors.
