This cache has been archived.

XantheTerra: Well it seems that the area between the dhows that has been used as a "shebeen" has become known to the authorities and the gates have now been locked.

Geocache Description:

Near Mina Zayed Port on the north-eastern tip of the Abu Dhabi island is an active dhow harbour, and is also the starting point of regular dhow sailing races. Along the quay a small market with interesting odds and ends does thriving business.

The cache is a round screwtop container that contains the usual logbook pencil and a FTF coin with some other tradeables.

NOTE: One of the UAE's oldest caches - the original CO (and subsequent 2 maintainers) have moved on from the UAE. Please assist in maintaining this cache as you visit.
