About this place

 

Al Zubara Fort:  built in 1938 during the reign of Sheikh Abdullah bin Qassim Al Thani, is probably the best-preserved of Qatar's historic forts. Used by the military until the mid-1980s, it now stands alone in the middle of stark desert on Qatar's west coast. There are a few dusty, half-hearted exhibits inside showing some coins and shards of pottery found in the area, but the reason to visit is for the fort itself. Unfortunately it has been marred by graffitti, but much of this has been at least partially covered on the outside walls. A friendly caretaker lives alone in the small house just in front of the fort.
