Confluence points around the world . . .

Hi All,

 

See this cool website - - - http://www.confluence.org/ - - - for a list of the confluence points around the world, i.e. points where lines of longitude and latitude cross.

 

There is a cache (The Beauty of Numbers - http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...b-98a64a1395d6) at the confluence point of N 25, E 56 degrees.

 

Also this link has all the confluence points in the UAE - - - http://www.confluence.org/country.php?id=176

 

An interesting concept, and perhaps the start of a new addiction?

 

Later,

There are several ones here in Saudi, one near Riyadh has also a geocache in there, GCG4CB. Unfortunately I haven't been there, as accessing it with 2WD would look little bit difficult.

 

There's some confluence points in Saudi that nobody has logged yet, there's a nice challenge for someone who has too much free time :rolleyes:

I would LOVE to visit you guys in Riyadh to do some caching, but the hassles of getting a visa makes it virtually impossible. I have a friend who lives and works in Riyadh as well that I wouls like to visit, but unfortunately no go. One day when the travel restrictions are relaxed - inshallah - I will be able to visit!

 

Cheers

Yes, the visa procedures quite painful in heree and even when you have the visa, there's additional hassle if you try to cross the Saudi-Qatar border with rental car. Last time when we went to Qatar (last year) we had to leave our car to Saudi and hitch a ride across the border and then order taxi from Doha to the Qatari side of border. If getting the car to Qatar would be easier, I'd like to come caching to Qatar again, now that there's lots of new caches.

 

Happy new year!
