Geocache Description:

View to Fahal - place from where you can enjoy the view to Fahal Island and the Gulf of Oman with dramatic rocky coast.


After passing through the Qurm, with it’s private villas, nice gardens, passing by the golf course, the Petroleum Development Oman (no photos there!), cricket/ football field, park the car at parking place and after take one of the path leading to the mountains. Near parking area you will see small waste collection storage with construction materials. This probably won’t be the nicest spot but I hope views which you will see after passing this place will be worth of your visit! After finding cache enjoy your walk along impressive coastline. Path is in good condition. From cache spot you can see the Fahal Island which is popular among divers and bird watchers.


Cache is regular size lock&lock container, camouflaged in a sand colored sock. There are few trade items; logbook, pencil, eraser and sharpener. Be aware of reptiles as they are searching for shadow under the rocks.

Don't go there if it is raining! Don't go at night!


Of course take plenty of water with you and be very careful near cache spot as it is next to the edge of eroded rocks.
