At the Pool Traditional Cache

For the last 3 years I have passed by this sports complex now and then without having visited for a close up. Today finally I directed my cache mobile to this area worth placing a cache! It's a lock' n' lock outside the complex to make sure you won't draw attention of the security guards. The FTF reward: one voucher for the Dubai Aquarium and one for the Dubai Dolphinarium. Both seemed nicely related to the "pool" theme...;-)

The Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Sports Complex was constructed in 2010 and is located in the south of the city, next to the heavy-traffic road the Dubai Bypass Road (611), recently renamed to Emirates Road. At 24 hectares there are two buildings. In the main building, which is the main area of events, it's possible to accommodate four Olympic Aquatic Sports in three swimming pools, 11 dry sports and various social and cultural events, with the seating capacity of at least 15,000 spectators. In the second building, there are the infrastructure for mechanics and the technical support. The architecture is indeed striking! Unfortunately I was not able to find out who the architect has been.....

Happy caching! And congrats to FTF TrueGeo STF Team GeoDan&f1.2 TTF vogtlaender033
