As there seems to have been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

Hit up this hot springs off the side of the road while searching for other caches and enjoying a float in the Dead Sea.

The cache is actually about 125 meters from the hot springs. This is because the hot springs is frequented by the local "shabaab" (young men). It is not culturally appropriate for women to go swimming there. The men here don't have bathing suits and often just swim in underwear so both parties would be uneasy.

Other than that... find the cache and men are welcome to go on to the hot springs waypoint. Go change into a swimsuit around the corner (or come in it) and go for a nice dip. The waterfall is cold water and the hot water comes from the cave in the pool. Bring a candle and/or flashlight if you want to rest deep in the cave... although it's not necessary to have these to enjoy the hot water in the cave.
