  • Al Zubarah Archaeological Site: Information Booklet
    English Foreword The town of Al Zubarah, Qatar’s largest archaeological site, lies on the country’s northwest coast 85km from Doha. This now abandoned town was once a thriving cultural and political centre with an economy based on pearl fishing and trade. As one of the largest and best preserved examples of an 18th-19th century merchant town anywhere in the Arabian Gulf, Al Zubarah is an outstanding testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Gulf Arabs. This booklet provides some basic information about the history of the site, the Al Zubarah Fort and the ongoing excavations. Qatar Museums invites you to visit and enjoy the first Qatari site inscribed into the UNESCO World Heritage List and learn about the heritage, traditions, history and development of Qatar. Most visitors arrive at the Al Zubarah Fort which is home to a new visitor centre. We suggest you begin your tour here, before exploring the archaeological site on the coast. Please follow the site rules and regulations to help us protect and preserve this important site for future generations. We hope you enjoy your visit.
