Geocache Description:

We are leaving Dubai (moving the netherlands) so planning to remove this Cache since we be unable to maintain it. We planned to do it earlier but the border crossing recently require passports (w/c we didn't bring) so had to turn back...!

A side trip from the Hatta road. 4x4 recommended. Near Six-T, Pay it Forward, & Hatta's Golf, Arabian Cache. Another one to add if you are planning to hit multiple caches in a day!

This is in the quieter area of Jebel Rawdah away from the quarry. Don’t break your neck climbing; this one is easy enough for a 7 year old to get to (my daughter and I did the hiding) 4x4 is recommended but can be approached on 2x4 from the gravel plains, a few drive by not many.

It is listed as United Arab Emirates but actually it is in Oman. If you are from the UAE no passports required or formal border crossings to make. Nearby Six-T, Pay it Forward, & Hatta's Golf, Arabian Cache...just another one for you cachers to find in the same general area but remember it is in a mountainous area, so near in distance may not mean near to travel.

We didn’t want to make it too easy for the first to find so no pics for now.

Message to the FTF: you have the honor to post a spoiler to save us the trouble for others (who like us who depend on clues, pics and posts to find their nose).

The cache original contents are key chains from various travels:

1. Puerto Rico
2. Hong-kong 38 special
3. Guam Shell
4. United Nations
5. Philippine Capiz shell
6. St. Louis Airplane
7. Casino de Macao
8. Good luck Penny
9. Air India
10. Toy helicopter…not a key chain but there was space!
Improvised log book & 2 pencils & sharpener – please leave these items

Good luck and Happy Hunting.
