Great to be back here. Cache was found easily but had to wait for a few muggles to complete their photography session.
There was a cache here earlier just 6 meters from this cache. http://coord.info/GC36DD2 Interestingly, the previous cache had made it into the "20 Unforgettable Geocache Destinations" video by Geocaching.com, http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ggbFDQxam1g
f1.2, thanks for placing another cache here.

Amazing that here you can still drive with the car dirtly up to the beach. Well, we used the spoiler. With that it was a quick find. TFTC
Having some summer caching done! Nice view from GZ over the whole Marina. Found the cache quickly with the spoiler! TFTC
Found at the end of our first day in Dubai. This is a really nice spot at sunset and with the sun on the buildings. The cats were very pleased to see us, but I wonder who feeds them!

Nice one! Great place! Sadly I missed the 3rd to find... But it was a great experience out there! I was a little afraid of the cats. They seemed to wanna kill me.. I took the earth coin and take it with me to Germany so he gets closer to Austria! TFT great C!!!!
joined TTF with donald68!
we have been here a pretty while ago, looking for the former cache placed here, but at that time, it had been already gone... so we were pleased to see a new one got hidden here.
This location is really lovely - such a nice view and the refreshing breeze from the seaside!
Very friendly cats gather there and we, too, saw the feeding places.
The coords are quite accurate and with a switched-on geosense the hide is easily spotted.
Left MicroGC Fire there to start its journey....and took TB Duck Band

T4TC - have been together with smartgelb to claim a joined TTF. We have been searching at this very spot already for the previous cache that is archived by now. Dropped The Micro GC Earth together with smartgelb's Micro GC Fire. They have a difficult mission to fulfill, but I am sure the worldwide caching community will make it possible. Happy caching, donald68

FTF!!! Day 10. I'm so excited I was able to make the first find on this cache for several reasons. I messed around yesterday and didn't check to see if there were any new caches out for the month of August, until just before sunset. I had no idea how long this one had been posted. I watched it last night and it appeared to have no takers, and so I made my plan to leave my hotel before sunrise and venture to grab this one. It took a while, and by the time I approached the area of the cache, it was quite warm and humid and very uncomfortable, but at least there were very few people out and about. I hopped my way to GZ and was getting a little nervous, because my Garmin map had the cache appearing on another jet of land and I was worried I was taking the wrong route. Since I had memorized both pictures I really didn't need to use my GPSr to narrow my search area. I found the cache in about 15 seconds! I wasn't too sure about the log, but as I cracked it open I saw there were no signatures on it! Hooray! Great day! Especially, since I had made this same journey...twice last year to try in find the last, now archived, cache that was placed at this exact spot practically. I DNF'd both times, bummer, on a cache that had long since disappeared. Redemption is a sweet meal to savor. This is a great hide and I hope it lasts a long time and achieves the fame of the last one placed in this spot. The views are spectacular. After I replaced the cache, I went to find a little more camo, and when I returned I could not find the cache...at all. I looked for over 15 minutes. Meanwhile there was a couple, from South Africa, that would in the area feeding and watering the feral cats out here, and there are many. He explained that they were part of a group that came out here every day and looked after the cats. Today was one of the three days a week they did this labor. I asked him if he knew what geocaching was and he said he didn't. He was CITOing so much of the rocks, I was worried he might stumble upon the cache someday and dispose of it. I described it to him and explained that it is not an abandon piece of flotsam, but a game piece that people would seek and tend to. He said ok and would explain it to the rest of the group to not disturb it or the people that hunt them. After they left, I kept on searching and finally found the cache again. I was perspiring so much I could barely keep my eyes open. I covered it a little more and notice the given coordinates are quite good...well within 1.5 meters. This is the highlight of my stay this month in Dubai. Thanks for all your hard work in replacing this hide in this one of a kind spot. Great hide, great location, great views, and great experience all around. I really appreciate it. All is in perfect shape. Greetings from Arizona, USA T: Sili02's 250.Fund geocoin; LNSL TFTC
A friend from USA emailed me that this cache was active and relatively near my flat. After a leisurely brekky, I set out to give it a go. The photos were helpful (and needed, since my GPSr was not picking up satellites). Made the grab and was only slightly bummed to see I ended up STF. T-two coins, L-TB. Thanks for a cache in a great spot.
