Although this cache is placed in an Omani enclave, you can only
access it by road from the UAE. No passport or visa is required to
cross into Oman here. You will need a 4x4 to get here. It may be
possible in a 2x4 but it will be very uncomfortable.
Wadi Madhah winds its way through the Hajar mountains in this
tiny Omani enclave on the east coast of the UAE. You will have fun
following the graded track that lies here. Watch out for the hill
top forts and the caves cut into the rocks as you drive along.
There are a number of rock pools and oasis for you to discover
here.
Leave the main UAE east coast highway at N 25°16.994'
E056°21.670'
Follow the graded track until the parking place at N 25°15.005'
E056°14.078'
From here it is a one hundred metre gentle trek uphill. The
cache is in a hole in the side of the mountain. We put a few rocks
in the hole to hide the cache.
Desert Challenge
This is the Red Key for the
Desert Challenge (GC13B15). The eight digit key is written on
the cache box and in the log book. There is also a set of key fobs
with the number written on it. Feel free to take one but leave the
rest for subsequent finders. Please do not publish the key on the
web.
We placed this cache with help from Mr J.
