Saudi is a great place for discovery and adventure and these guys have definitely showed everyone why

Badr Al Ali and four other men went on an extravagant journey to the bottom of Maker Al Shayahin in Harrat Khaybar. This cave is known to be one of the largest volcanic caves in the Kingdom, located in the Hijaz region of Saudi Arabia.

The 3 kilometer cave formed as a result of a volcanic eruption and is up to 22 meters high

The cave is known to be an artistic masterpiece, as the explorers described the experience to be similar to a museum with hollow rocks, patters, and colorful ceilings. As reported by The National, the total journey took four and a half hours and was a total of six kilometers. Al Ali had posted the video of the journey from A to Z, with their long walk and claustrophobic obstacles. If you’re not a fan of small spaces, then this journey is definitely not for you.
