Explore the northern region of Qatar on a guided tour from Doha. Visit the Al Khor Corniche, the Al Thakira Lagoon, the Purple Island, the Al Zubara Fort, and the Jumail Abandoned Village.
Start your day with a visit to the coastal city of Al Khor. Known for its rich history, beautiful mangroves, and scenic views, Al Khor is also famous for the Al Khor Corniche and the nearby Al Thakira Lagoon, which is a great spot for birdwatching, particularly for flamingos.
Next, head to the Purple Island, located near Al Khor. Famous for its stunning natural beauty, wildlife, and unique purple-colored soil, the island is a peaceful getaway, offering excellent opportunities for birdwatching and walking trails along the coastline. The island is historically significant for its ancient burial mounds and archaeological sites.
Continue to the Al Zubara Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site located on the northwest coast of Qatar. This 18th-century fort was built to protect the town of Al Zubara, a former prosperous pearling and trading port. The site includes the fort itself, a museum, and archaeological remains of the town, offering a glimpse into Qatar’s history.
Finally, visit the village of Jumail, an abandoned settlement in northern Qatar that was once a thriving pearl diving community. The village, with its well-preserved ruins, showcases traditional Qatari architecture, including houses made of coral stone. Visiting this site offers a look into the old way of life in Qatar before the oil boom transformed the country.
