North of Qatar: Zubara Fort | Jumail Village | Thakhira Mangroves

This special tour offers a journey into the rich cultural past of Qatar, taking you to the northern region where the roots of the nation’s heritage lie. The experience begins at Al Khor’s historic harbor, once the bustling center for pearl diving and fishing. You'll get a glimpse of traditional life as you explore the old shipyard where boats were once repaired and restored. This coastal area was vital to Qatar’s economy and maritime legacy, and walking through it feels like stepping back in time.

Next, you'll discover one of Qatar’s hidden natural gems—the Al Thakira Mangrove Forest. This lush, green sanctuary is among the oldest and largest in the country, offering a rare look at Qatar’s natural ecosystem. The final stop is Al Zubara Fort, a remarkably well-preserved example of an Arab fort and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The fort not only stands as a powerful symbol of defense architecture but also tells the story of a once-thriving trade town that played a crucial role in Qatar’s development. This tour perfectly blends history, culture, and nature for a well-rounded and insightful experience.
