Geocache Description:

One of a number of caves [sinkholes] in Qatar.

Musfer sinkhole has an opening of 12 x 4.5 m and is at least 100 m deep, though filled with sloping loose sand at the bottom. Gypsum layers of the Lower Dammam Unit and the Rus Formation occur at the bottom of this sinkhole. It is suspected that this sinkhole is part of a much larger cave system. Pools of freshwater at the bottom of such caves were once used by Bedouins for drinking water.

This is a nice quick drive from Doha. Although one has to go off the tarred road for a couple of kilometers to get to this cache, the road is negotiable by a saloon car if care is exercised.

Some degree of stealth will be required to find the cache.
