Majlis al Jinn is one of the largest cave chambers in the world. (The biggest is in Borneo.) Its generous lighting suggests a creator with a gift for interior design. And its long sight lines are stupendousfor a cave, anyway. "Sitting inside was almost disappointing," says caver Ben Cadell (above). "I knew I would never see anything this impressive again in my entire life."
