Geocache Description:


Downtown Dubai stands as the dynamic core of the city, where luxury living, cultural icons, and echoes of tradition converge. Beyond the towering Burj Khalifa, the vast Dubai Mall, and the dazzling Dubai Fountain, the district also embraces the elegance of Dubai Opera and the charm of nearby souks, a place where cutting-edge architecture harmonizes with heritage-inspired experiences.

 

The puzzle

In the heart of Dubai, where steel and glass reach for the heavens and fountains dance to music, a secret lies hidden among the city's icons. The tallest tower, the shimmering waters, and the tunnel beneath the sea each guard a fragment of the truth. Only those who can read the city's language of numbers will uncover the coordinates that lead to the cache.

 

Finding the latitude minutes:

The height of the Burj Khalifa piercing the desert sky is legendary. Subtract from this the letters of The Dubai Fountain that dances at its feet, then divide by FI.CHIHDGHHIBDIG.

 

Finding the longtitude minutes:

Beneath the mall, a tunnel of glass lets you walk under the sea. Find its official length in meters. Divide this by the year the Dubai Mall opened, then multiply by FHA.BIGFFFFFFFFFG.
