Geocache Description:

A nano cache hidden on the occasion of the Gulfcachers second year event.

The above coordinates are not correct!

To determine the final coordinates you will have to solve the enclosed numerical crossword.

The United Arab Emirates has deemed it necessary to separate itself from its neighbouring countries, Oman and Saudi Arabia, by a security fence running along its entire border.



Although there is no border post between the UAE and the Omani enclave of Mahdah, the fence still runs its course along the entire stretch between the two territories, with the exception of a gap for route 44 (Dubai - Hatta road). The cache is a nano container magnetically attached to part of the fence in such a way that it is reachable from either side of the fence. To establish the exact coordinates of the cache you will need to solve the enclosed numerical crossword puzzle. (tip: print out the image of the puzzle included in the picture gallery, if you want to enlarge the puzzle to solve it).


The cache site is some 800 m away from an asphalt road. You can park your car there and walk the last bit or, if you have a 4WD, drive right up to GZ. Enjoy the hunt!
