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.

Al Khor is a coastal city in northern Qatar, situated about 50 kilometers from the capital, Doha. As one of the largest cities in the country, Al Khor is home to many workers in the oil industry, thanks to its close proximity to Qatar’s northern oil and natural gas fields, as well as Ras Laffan Industrial City. The city is also one of the proposed locations for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
