Mushrif Mall Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Buckshaw Cowboys: Can’t believe it’s only been four years since I placed this cache. I remember it like it was yesterday. Sadly, it’s time to archive this as I am unable to replace it.

Thanks to all the cachers that have made the effort to find this.

Geocache Description:

Mushrif Mall


Mushrif Mall is one of the main shopping malls in the city of Abu Dhabi. Here, they boast one of the biggest foodcourts in Abu Dhabi. There are lots of well-known Western brands and stores. 

The Cache
You will find the cache is hidden on the bridge over the highway outside Mushrif Mall

Please note....

You are in a busy area, there are going to be lots of muggles here. Here are some tricks that are helpful for getting to or returning the cache:

On the phone
Always carry a mobile phone or a device that you can pretend is a mobile phone. The general public will pretty much ignore someone on a telephone and understand that they will poke around and "doodle" while talking. So you have a good idea on where the cache is but you are in a very public place. Get out the phone and pretend to have a conversation. After a minute or so, start casually looking/feeling around and no one will pay you any attention.

You can fill in the log and put it back if you are calm and very casual about it. Say or seem to be saying "uh huh" once in a while and all will assume you are talking to someone.

Got to have that picture.
Another great trick for caching is pretending to take a photograph. Tourists are a blight on the environment and go to the most extremes to get some picture from just the right angle (happens to be right where the cache is). People world wide are used to this and if they see you pretending to take a photograph they will assume, you are a tourist and therefore you can be forgiven for not being normal.

Congratulations to Smathi & KEmathi for their FTF.
