The caches are located in the desert between Al Jumaliyah and Al Zubara. They are accessible via rough desert tracks. A 4WD vehicle with good ground clearance is recommended. The area is strewn with many sharp rocks and other hazards. It is highly recommended to travel with at least 2 vehicles. The usual precautions for venturing into the desert apply (water, fuel, mechanically sound vehicle, communications, recovery equipment, spare wheel, etc).

 

Be sure to keep a sharp lookout for wildlife. You may be rewarded with sightings of fox, dharb (spiny tailed lizard), wassil (monitor lizard), jerboa, desert hare, igama, and many different bird species.

 

FIELD PUZZLE INSTRUCTIONS

Each traditional cache in this series contains an alphanumeric code with an assigned value. Enter this value in the corresponding space in the table below. Just to complicate matters, the value of four of the clues will need to be adjusted as follows before being entered into the table:

  • D4 = value - 1
  • E7 = value + 5
  • G5 = value + 7
  • G7 = value + 4

Add up each row and each column to find the final coordinates. Good luck!
