Hi

This is a shot in the dark but thought I might as well ask.

Visiting Dubai in November and want to drop in to an old friend I haven't seen in 5 years. The trouble is all I have is a PO Box address for her that was given to me by a mutual friend and the mobile number I have for her is not working.

Is there any way to trace a residential address from a PO Box address?

Many thanks!

Yes, there is.

Send her a postcard and ask for her address. Of course - this may spoil the surprise.

Send the postcard saying I need it for a DHL pack to you. You try nav on the ground in DXB as visitor !!!!. Get a cab or driver.

Oh and don't be surprised if her address sounds weird e.g. Al Mousa building, Opposite New Spinneys, beside blue building, Karama...

Most people give their addresses by idenifying landmarks as street names are useless (you will see why when you get there!!)

Enjoy and take your friend to the Irish Village and have a pint for me! :)
