Historic Forts
One of the many forts in Qatar is the immaculately restored Al Zubarah Fort. This UNESCO World Heritage site is one of the most extensive and best-preserved examples of an 18th–19th century settlement in the country. It covers the remains of a walled coastal town that once ranked as one of the Gulf’s most important pearl diving and trading centres with links extending to the Indian Ocean.
An Inland Sea
In the south-eastern corner of the country lies one of Qatar’s most impressive natural wonders, the ‘Inland Sea’ or Khor Al Adaid. A UNESCO recognized natural reserve with its own ecosystem, this is one of the few places in the world where the sea encroaches deep into the heart of the desert. Inaccessible by road, this tranquil expanse of water can only be reached by crossing the rolling dunes.
Islamic Art
Experience 14 centuries of great art at The Museum of Islamic Art’s magnificent and imaginatively presented displays of the finest art and artefacts from across the Islamic world. No visitor can fail to be impressed by the quality and diversity of the collections, housed in a modern architectural masterpiece designed by IM Pei. The museum ensures fresh interest through its constantly changing programme of special exhibitions.
