The centre of now Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

pavel310: Sad to archive this popular cache in a nice "historical" part of Dubai mall. The area around GZ has been built up with two newly opened restaurants and so there is no place for a new cache. Thanks to all who visited!

Geocache Description:

This cache is placed in a very popular area of Dubai -  the Dubai mall. The Dubai Mall is the world's largest shopping mall based on a total area and sixth largest by gross leasable area. It is part of the 20-billion-dollar Burj Khalifa complex, and includes 1,200 shops. The mall is divided into many different sections, one of these is "The Souk", which was built on a traditional theme of Arabic architecture. The Souk also serves as a shopping link between the aquarium and the ice rink.


How to reach the cache: Cache itself is indoor so forget using your GPS. Head to "The Souk", in the center of the Souk under the dome, you will find an astronomical guidepost. Follow the below sign towards a column: Sit on the bench from the outer side of the column and look for a magnetic micro.


IMPORTANT UPDATE!!!
Your stealth here is the most important element. Sit down and wait until the security guard from both left and right hand side shop is gone or not watching. You have to wait for the right moment to touch down. Last two containers were either muggled or discovered by security. Do not act suspicious and do not look down under too obvious. Only use a sense of touch of your hand, you don't need to go on your knees, it's within a hand reach! This area is filled with muggles.
