Geocache Description:

*** The iron rack (&cache) have been removed. So you can log this for now with a picture at the location. Will get the actual cache replaced sometime soon. *** This nano cache is hidden in a location that is often typical of a mosque.

This is close to one of the places we really like visiting with guests, with a huge mosque and the very nearby Gayer-Anderson House. This is also really nice to visit with children. You have to print this picture below and take it with you, otherwise you'll very likely not find the nano cache.

Please visit the description of the mosque on Wikipedia to learn more before you go. When you're in the area it's also nice to visit the mosques of Rifai and the Palace of Amir Taz!

The cache is only accessible Sunday until Thursday between 9 AM and 16 PM and Friday from 8 - 12 AM and from 13 - 16 PM.

Additional info 24 October 2009:
Since it's a quite uncommon kind of container people apparantly still overlook this thing. So I'll put a spoiler picture of it on the site.
