The Cairo Opera
House
The Cairo Opera House is located on Zamalek island
in the Nile river and is a beautiful location in an otherwise noisy
and dirty city. The Opera House was inaugurated in 1988 and was
funded by Japan as a gift to Egypt following president Mubarak's
visit to Japan in 1983. The Opera House was opened by president
Mubarak and Prince Tomohito of Mikasa, the younger brother of the
Japanese Emperor. See more information here.
The easiest way to get there is by Metro to the
Opera metro stop. There are several entrances around the opera
house, and access is open to the general public. The cache is
located in a small nursery, and the best time to go search for the
cache is in the late afternoon, when all the nursery staff has
left. Utmost stealth is required when retrieving the cache. I have
placed it in a location that provides natural cover from onlookers,
but if any other person is also in the nursery, it's best to
attempt the cache on a different day.
To find the cache, go through the green archway
depicted below, and let your GPS take you to the cache!
Happy hunting, and enjoy the sights offered at the Opera
House!
Small note on cache maintenance: anneremco will
