Geocache Description:

My very first cache and i have put a lot of thinking into making this one as a fun hunt. Whether you are a visitor in Dubai or a resident, I am sure you'll love this area. specially in the evenings. Would love to read your log stories about this little hunt. Please read description, it may help.

Al Garhoud Bridge (In Arabic: جسر القرهود) is one of four road bridges over Dubai Creek, and one of five crossings, in Dubai. Old Al Garhoud Bridge: The old Al Garhoud Bridge was the second bridge constructed that crossed the Creek, after Al Maktoum Bridge. The bridge opened in 1976. In 2007, nearly 9,000 vehicles crossed the bridge every hour at peak flow. The new Al Garhoud Bridge has a total of 14 lanes, 7 in each direction. It is able to handle 16,000 vehicles per hour. Construction of the bridge began in February 2006. The bridge is 520 metres (1,706 ft) long and 16 metres (52.5 ft) above the sea level. The old bridge was demolished after the new bridge opened. Shortly after the bridge opened, the Roads and Transport Authority announced that Al Garhoud Bridge would be decorated with artwork that look like sand dunes during the day and waves at night................. ABOUT THE HUNT: The hunt begins from the only coordinates provided and leads you to 3 other stages. Tasks are simple but you have to know two things to be able to successfully complete the hunt. #1 ROT13, #2 Roman numbers. The rest of the hunt doesn't require any hints or clues as everything is available at different stages................... ABOUT LOCATION: I have chosen this location because i visit this place very often. For fishing as well as jogging. This is the quietest area within the busiest part of Dubai. i have done my training for uphill running in this area. i am sure you'll love it. Please write your hunt stories online for me to read. Thanks..................... Congratulations MuEpsilon for being FTF. :)
