Geocache Description:


The road quality in the UAE is extremely good. An ideal asphalt surface makes you feel relaxed even when you drive 120 kph. Almost all roads have a barrier between the lanes but UAE roads, once described by a friend of mine as The trickiest roads in the world. There are two sayings I’ve heard about the roads in UAE: If you see the destination but cannot get there, you are in the UAE, and If you’ve got a map of UAE, check the date, if it is yesterday’s map it is already outdated. You might see double roads with turn-offs, normally the one you need to take, only from one direction and barriers for kilometres and kilometres. This cache is a tribute to the super saver on these roads, the U-Turn. It is available about everywhere even on roads where the speed limit is 100 or even up to 120 km per hour with a lot of drivers going faster. So before making a U-Turn on these roads please make double sure of oncoming traffic.
On the lighter side don't be surprised though if you usually make a U-Turn at a certain spot and tomorrow it is closed or completely removed. The Cache is a lock in lock container in a sock, with a logbook a few Kitty memorabilia and a Geocoin. Hope You have a Meow of a time finding this Cache. Special thanks to Avanclan for moving the Cache far enough away from his camel farms Cache and to both Avanclan and Rumjack for the City to Sand Idea. Update:- Due to disappearing a few times, the Cache has been replaced with a Micro Cache. Coordinates updated.
