Geocache Description:

This cache is in easy walking distance from Oil Well Number One and the BAPCO Oil Museum. There is some off road/trail and so is not wheelchair friendly.

Oil Well Number One was the first successful oil well in Bahrain and the Gulf region. The original well site and the BAPCO Oil Museum, Dar An Naft, are on a paved road and the cache is within 500 meters. If you go there between September and June (closed in July and August) the museum is open from 10:00 to 5:00 Thursday and Friday. During Ramadan they close at 3:00.

In the cache are a mini pocket phonebook some pliers and a soldier with no weapon (I am a retired Army Medic, there is symbolism here).
