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.
