Al Zubara Fort, Madinat Ash Shamal, Qatar Al Zubarah is Qatar’s largest archaeological heritage site. It was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2013 and is the best-preserved example of an eighteenth – nineteenth century trading and pearl fishing town in the Gulf region. Unlike its contemporaries, it is largely intact and has not been lost beneath the region’s vast modern cities.
The site, located approximately 100 km northwest of Doha, stretches 2.5 km from the Al Zubarah Fort to the coast. Founded in the mid-eighteenth century, the town developed into the country’s largest and most important settlement. Its success attracted the attention of other Gulf powers, and after several attacks the town was burned to the ground in 1811. By the first decades of the 20th century, it was abandoned. Today, the site covers an area of 60 hectares with remains of houses, Masajid (mosques), Madhabis (date presses), large, fortified buildings, and a market. 45 minutes

We loved our tour to the north/north west of Qatar with Muhammad, to see the Al Zabarah Fort, the Al Jumail fishing village and the mangroves. We recommend this tour to learn a bit about the history of Qatar and see something different to the city. We also loved the red tea!

Muhammad was knowledgeable and very accommodating to whatever we wanted to see. The fort, fisherman’s village, and purple island were all very interesting. We had a wonderful time learning about the history of Qatar as well as the culture throughout our tour. I highly recommend this tour. He also gave us extra information and a quick city tour of Doha.
