Al Zubarah Fort | Qatar

Al Subarah Fort | Qatar Zubarah (also Al Zubarah or Az Zubarah) is a ruined and deserted town located on the north western coast of the Qatar peninsula in the Shamal municipality, about 105 km away from capital city Doha. Al Zubarah was once a thriving pearl fishing and trading port positioned midway between the Strait of Hormuz and the west arm of the Persian Gulf. It is one of the largest towns in the gulf in 18th -19th century. Al zubarah was one of several independent settlements that operated outside of the control of large empires that were jostling for influence in the region. Now buried beneath the desert sands Al Zubarah tells the story of an important page in world history that saw rise of modern Gulf States. Al Zubarah Archaeological site includes the ruins of major 18- century trading and pearling settlement, the ruins of a 19th century settlements and the iconic 20th century fort that still stands proud against the desert skyline. In july 2013 the site was inscribed on the UNESCO World heritage list recognition for its preservation and as unique example of a formative period.
