Geocache Description:

A quick easy micro with a great view. (Bring your own pen/pencil.)


Nicknamed “The Rock,” Ali Al Salem Air Base is an important and busy hub for peacekeeping operations in the Middle East.  This micro is located near a plaque and tribute to the joint operations originating from here every day.

On 6 May 1997, after several months of negotiations, the flags of the United States and Kuwait flew together for the first time over this base in central Kuwait.  It’s daily mission – to support troops in harms way.

The weather here is consistently hot, so please be careful when retrieving the cache as there are many metal parts in the area.
