Knagur Green: Due to no response from the CO after the request to maintain or replace the cache, I am archiving it to, stop it showing on the listings and/or to create place for the geocaching community.

The Geocache Maintenance guideline explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported. Caches that have been archived for lack of maintenance will not be unarchived. This is explained in the Help Center

Geocache Description:

This cache is at a great spot that gives excellent views of Al Ain's oasis and sanaiya. It involves a little climbing, so take care. If the climbing is overly difficult, then you are probably approaching from the wrong angle/direction. Wear good shoes (even though I placed it while foolishly wearing tevas).

The cache is in a small stainless steel tin. It can only hold small objects. The original contents of the cache are:

-Geocrat's Feb 2007 geocoin
-Yurtle the turtle travelbug
-Thai Stick pencil and sharpener
-Yellow lion
-Plastic Iron toy
-Mr. Tree
-Shoe eraser
-Paperclip
-10 cents US
-a two and a half kirsch coin from Jordan

Since the "Nagafa" building was torn down and the construction began, there is now more of a climb to get up to the cachesite.

GZ can be approached from either side of the ridge--I have climbed and descended from the side of the ridge facing Sanaiya, but it actually looks easier to climb and descend from the side facing towards the Hilton. Future finders please let me know if this is true!

Please be discreet when going to the cachesite so that you do not arouse too much local curiosity.

Good luck!
