+canuck thistles Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I am moving to Abu Dhabi for 2 years in August and am hoping to meet up with some fellow cachers. I am used to caching with my husband but he has to stay behind in Canada to finish up another degree, so I am hoping for an event or two to get to know folks Quote Link to comment
+cincol Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 There is a pretty active group of cachers in Abu Dhabi - and a couple of Canadians as well [] You can also have a look at the Facebook Group "Geocaching United Arab Emirates" - a lot of activity there as well. Enjoy your stay! Quote Link to comment
+Carbon Hunter Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 We stayed in Abu D for a few years. Some real fun caches there - not a huge amount compared to most areas -but a great bunch of guys. My suggestion - host an event (or attend an event) as soon as possible. ] Get a way to get access to a 4x4 so you can get into the desert - as most of the best caches are not park and grabs Don't go to the desert alone (2 cars m,inimum) Make sure you get to some of the more remote areas (like Ruwais. al Ain, Hatta and especially into Oman - you do not need a visa to cross at Al Ain) Don't worry too much about the Dubai city caches - the remote ones are far more fun EXPLORE!!!!!!!!!!! Find the caches with favourite points Looks for other caches by people you enjoy (some great ones in Abu Dhabi near Yas track - Camel master and bestvue are also good as are..... +++++) Try Earthcaches Be careful about photos of governmetn buildings (learn the cultural aspects from a local expereinced cacher) Have a blast - and have fun Beware of the heat! Take Water, remmeber petrol stations are few and far between out of town Quote Link to comment
