AlKhufaisat Traditional Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
The name of this cache means holes .. locally attributed to meteorite strike or “shooting stars” but is probably more of a sinkhole. With a diameter of tens of meters, this is bigger than those one would see in Summan plateau but is smaller than the ones found in AlKharj. The cache is placed to the north of the hole and is hidden in a traditional Bustook (metal container) .. The hole itself is at N 26 12.630 E 45 42.570
You can reach the site by driving to Tumayr and onwards to Mubayid and finally Alshahma before the tarmac ends. The remaining 14km is off road driving passing through some green meadows. Before reaching the site you can make a stop to explore another depression at N 26 12.410 E 45 44.442
From the cache site, if you go 16km further west you can reach a small sink hole that acts like a ventilation shaft with weak current blowing in and out at N 26 15.488 E 45 33.754 . From here it is another 16km to the road joining AlArtaweyyah to AlMajmah or you can come back the way you came.
