    Zekreet is a village in north-western Qatar.
    Zekreet fort is on the west coast of Qatar, 90 km from Doha. The fort has a very distinctive layout that allows seeing the two different phases of construction.
    Originally, the fort was built as a simple square without towers in each corner.
    In a second phase of development, towers were added at the outer four corners of the fort.
  2. EAST-WEST / WEST-EAST by Richard Serra

    Internationally acclaimed artist Richard Serra adds the astonishing East-West/West-East sculpture to the desert landscape, taking art to the people.East-West/West-East has become a famous landmark in Qatar since its installation in 2014.
    This breathtaking sculpture in the Brouq nature reserve spans over a kilometre and comprises four steel plates, each over fourteen metres in height.
  3. Zekreet Beach

    You can also see the Zekreet beach. Where you can see many people coming for kite surfing and para sailing.
  4. Zekreet Beach
    20m
    The area stands out due to its unusual landscape of white cliffs. The form and colour of the landscape are a result of the erosion of soft limestone layers, while the wind-shaped white cliffs and bizarre geological forms, like mushroom-shaped hills, make the area unique and special to Qatar.
