Geocache Description:

A traditional cache next to Dubai’s new camel racing track placed on the occasion of the first UAE Cachers Get-Together on Friday, 19 October 2007

With the Meydan urban development project thoroughly reshaping Dubai’s Nadd al Sheba area, there was a need to find a home for the city’s erstwhile most favorite sport, camel racing. This has been created next to the village of al Lisaili, along the Dubai-al Ain highway, in an area called Ma’moun. A significantly upgraded camel racing track and a brand-new stadium offer the chance for a “Moment of Glory” for many an Emirati camel-racing hopeful.

The cache consists of a standard lock-and-lock lunchbox container wrapped in the ubiquitous old brown sock. As this is a replacement for the original cache which has been muggled, the contents have been kept cheap and cheerful!

To reach the cache turn of from the E66, Dubai - al Ain highway at exit 37, towards al Lisaili. Take the first turn-off to the right some 50 m after the speed bump. Once arrived at the race track, stay on the outermost hardtop road skirting the nested set of camel race tracks. Please park your car next to the tarmac road at the coordinates provided below, and do not go off-road driving as: the sand is very soft, car tracks leading to the cache site are a muggle-magnet and the fragile desert eco-system can do with a few less tyre-tracks.

Why not come and search for this cache on a Friday morning and hang around to see some of the spectacular “camel and robot” races when you have had enough of searching for geo-caches for a while (I know this seems hardly possible, but a 10 minute intermezzo maybe???? ) )
