Description

مغارة مبعاج (Mabaj Cave) is a very young show cave, opened in 2007. Nevertheless, it seems the number of visitors was not very high, and so the tourist amenities in the area have long been abandoned. The cave is not signposted any more, and we could not find out if it is actually open to the public. The official website is down. Web pages about the cave mostly just ramble on or actually report on other sights nearby; there seems to be no reliable information available. The site is not listed on Google Maps and there are no reviews. On Street View there is no sign of a cave, the turnoff is unmarked. Please help us if you have recent info.
