Reseach for cache placement

[+Carbon Hunter 10]

I have found a few sites that are useful when researching the placement of caches in our region.

 

Please add your links as and when you find them. And I hope these encourage new caches in this amazing part of the world too.

Unfortunately for Qatar there are very limited resources available on the 'Net. The best resource that I have come across is parked in my parking bay and requires me at the wheel with my GPSr!!! Apart from that I have a few extremely knowledgable geologists [at al] who I also rely on for expert knowledge of various places. On the plus dide, Qatar is not very big so it is easy to explore the entire country.
