Product Info

Begin your tour at Al Khor's harbor, an abandoned port with the largest fish market in northern Qatar. See traditional dhow boats and witness boat renovations and repairs.

Next, head to a natural island with the largest square of mangroves. Spot insects and birds, and, if you're lucky, catch a glimpse of seasonal pink flamingos.

Continue to Al Zubara Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Learn about its role in Qatar's history and explore the museum, which displays a collection of exhibits and artworks focused on contemporary archaeological findings.

Visit the Zubara archaeological site, once the largest pearl trade center in the region. Learn about the history of pearl diving and the struggles faced by Qatar's diving tribes.

Finally, see "Shadows Travelling on the Sea of the Day" by renowned Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson. Admire the installation, which consists of 20 massive circular shelters with mirrored ceilings that reflect the semi-circular support structures below, forming perfect, continuous rings.
