Highlights
  • Al Zubarah Archaeological Site - Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2013, this site is the most well-preserved example of an 18th to 19th-century trading and pearl fishing town in the Gulf region. Unlike many of its contemporaries, it remains largely intact and hasn’t been overtaken by the region’s sprawling modern cities.

  • Al Jumail - As you wander through this abandoned village, the remnants of its past provide a window into its rich history. However, the true highlight is the magnificent sunset that turns the landscape into a stunning panorama of golden hues reflecting off serene waters. It’s a must-visit for those in search of natural beauty and peace.

  • Al Khor - Situated on Qatar’s northeastern coast, Al Khor historically relied on fishing and pearl diving for its economy. The coastal waters were rich with fish, caught using traditional methods such as nets and dhows.
