Sharjah Promenade Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Camel Master: Due to the deterioration of the area where the cache was hidden, with too much rubbish spoiling GZ, I have decided to discontinue this cache. This also implies that the remaining "Promenade" series will change into a number of stand-alone caches and the bonus UAE cache will become a normal cache visible for everyone.

Geocache Description:

The third in a series of 'nano' caches along the waterfront of each of the Emirates. This one is along the Sharjah lagoon.

The sea continues to be a central part of the history and culture of the United Arab Emirates. Each of the emirates faces the sea and much of the daily life of the country takes place near to the sea-shore. Every emirate thus has a corniche where the public can relax, stroll around, watch and be seen. Perfect places for a cache!

 

This is the third of a series of eight caches, one in each emirate and a final one that requires the previous seven to be found. The series comprises of the following caches:

Abu Dhabi Promenade, GC1BXCK

Dubai Promenade, GC1BXPY

Sharjah Promenade (this cache), GC1BZ2X

Ajman Promenade, GC1BZ3H

Umm al Quwain Promenade, GC1C23R

Ras al Khaimah Promenade, GC1C23V

Fujairah Promenade, GC1C9V7

UAE Promenade, GC1CFAY

 

After the original hiding location was removed, a camouflaged cache container has been placed near the waterfront. Use your geocaching sense and look what appears to be out of place.

The original hiding location showing the code required to find the bonus UAE Promenade cache has been lost. If you are on a quest to find the bonus cache and require the code, please mention this in your log and I will send it to you.

The cache is hidden near the Sharjah souq, an iconic building which attracts many visitors. Please search for the cache with utmost discreetion!
