There's so much to explore beyond Doha in Qatar. Your journey will take you to the northern regions, where you'll discover the country's rich history. Begin with a visit to Al Khor Harbor, once a thriving hub for the local pearl diving and fishing industries. It remains a bustling port where fishermen are still hard at work. Next, you'll stop at Al Thakira, a stunning area of lush greenery, filled with mangroves and picturesque waterways—a true oasis in the desert. Finally, you'll visit the Zubarah Fort, a historic military stronghold that houses various artifacts and holds great cultural significance in Qatar.
