Ruqaya Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) Hi, my name is Ruqaya Al-Bimany and I am a reporter with 'The Week'. My interests lie with Environmental issues and adventure tourism; geocaching seems particularly exciting. I am looking to interview keen geocachers for a feature we will carry in the paper. If you wish to be interviewed, I will also have a photographer and we could make a trip. Alternatively, If you are only free for an interview that would also be terrific. Please feel free to contact me on: Mobile: (968) 99853250 Office number: (968) 24799388 (ext) 351 email: ruqaya.albimany@apexstuff.com Edited August 11, 2009 by Ruqaya Quote Link to comment

+cincol Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Great stuff. It would be great if the Qatari newspapers could do something like this too. Quote Link to comment
+Carbon Hunter Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Try witbooi and camel Master - the only two that I know of? I'm sure there must be more. Quote Link to comment
+Carbon Hunter Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 The Etihad inflight magazine ran an article in tourism in Jordan a few months back. geocaching was mentioned in there - even had a photo of a cache near some Roman ruins Quote Link to comment
G-armi-N Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Wow! reaching the newspaper publicity... Gulfnews should call us to here in UAE Quote Link to comment
+pseacraft Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Hi Ruqaya, I forwarded your posting to Camel Master. He is located in Muscat now having recently relocated for Dubai. Hopefully he will be able to assist you. If you want or need information from others, you can contact anyone one of us who have responded so far as we have all done a few "easy" caches in Oman even though we are located in the UAE or Qatar. Best of luck with your article and please let us know when it will be published and where!! Eric pseacraft Quote Link to comment
Ruqaya Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Hi everyone, Thank you so much for your replies. I have got in touch with 'Camel master and mistress' , they seem to be very keen. What a nice online community! Ruqaya Quote Link to comment
+Carbon Hunter Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 It is a great community. So the big question is now...... WHEN ARE YOU SIGNING UP AND BECOMING A GEOCACHER???? Seriously, how did you get to hear about Geocaching? Quote Link to comment
