What to expect

  1. Al Zubara Fort
    1h 30m
    Al Zubara Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site, originally built by sheikh Absullah bin Jassim Al Thani in 1938 to serve as a Coast Guard station, although some direction of that it was built to serve as a police station. It was later renovated into museum to display diverse exhibits and artworks, most especially for contemporarily topical archaeological findings.
  2. Purple Island - Al Khor Island
    2h
    Al Khor Island, also known as Jazirat bin Ghanim and purple island known for its serene mangroves, unique wildlife, and breathtaking landscapes - a hidden gem for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts.
  3. Al Khor
    30m
    Older than Doha but far smaller in size. It used to be the center of the pearling industry in Qatar but lost its importance after the introduction of cultured pearls. It now boasts a scenic harbour where you can find traditional fishing dhows, a corniche leading to mangrove colonies and a museum showcasing the fishing, pearling and dhow building industries.
