It's a very amazing historical and archeological site in Qatar, getting there exceeded my expectations and thoughts since I only thought it was a fort that just had a small history but it is rich in history. It's a worthy place to visit and learn a lot about Qatar.

I went there to see the fort personally out of curiosity. It was ok . I didn’t stay long because it hot and humid

Small fort, well kept, presents a very comprehensive historical line of the site of Zubara. It has a small explanation of pearl divers' lives. A small archaeological exposition there too.

Zubarah Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in northern Qatar, is a well-preserved 18th-century fortress that once protected a thriving pearling and trading town. Built in 1938, the fort features thick limestone walls, corner towers, and a courtyard, offering insight into Qatar’s military history. Today, it serves as a museum showcasing artifacts from the abandoned town of Al Zubarah. Visitors can explore its watchtowers, historical exhibits, and scenic desert surroundings. Easily accessible by road, Zubarah Fort is a must-visit for history enthusiasts and those interested in Qatar’s rich past.

Nice little fort off the north west coast, free to enter. Very well looked after with great information about the history. It has facilities like toilets which are well maintained and a small shop that sells really nice items at a good price.

Loved the Fort. Not much nearby that really added to the trip. If you have limited time, focus on the Dunes and Inland Sea.

Not really much to this place. Moderately interesting if you want to learn something about the history of pearl diving in the region. But it's an awful long drive through the desert to get there and there isn't really a lot to it.
