Itinerary
Al Zubara Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site, originally built by sheikh Absullah bin Jassim Al Thani in 1938 to serve as a Coast Guard station, although some direction of that it was built to serve as a police station. It was later renovated into museum to display diverse exhibits and artworks, most especially for contemporarily topical archaeological findings.
Al Khor Island, also known as Jazirat bin Ghanim and purple island known for its serene mangroves, unique wildlife, and breathtaking landscapes - a hidden gem for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts.
Older than Doha but far smaller in size. It used to be the center of the pearling industry in Qatar but lost its importance after the introduction of cultured pearls. It now boasts a scenic harbour where you can find traditional fishing dhows, a corniche leading to mangrove colonies and a museum showcasing the fishing, pearling and dhow building industries.

About Doha
Doha, Qatar's capital on the Gulf, pairs a crescent-shaped corniche and striking museums with a traditional souk, wooden dhows and desert dunes.
The Corniche curves along Doha Bay for kilometres, with views of the West Bay skyline and wooden dhows moored in the harbour. At its southern end, the Museum of Islamic Art, designed by I. M. Pei, rises from the water and holds treasures from across the Islamic world, with a waterfront park beside it.
Top-ranked sights in Doha: Souq Waqif, Katara Cultural Village, The Pearl-Qatar.
