Reviews: North Qatar Tour | Zubara Fort | Purple Island | Mangros Colony
Guest User2025-12-05
We are writing this summary a few days after our return to Bulgaria.
On 27.11.2025 we had a half-day tour of Northern Qatar.
They picked us up from the hotel, then we took the highway north of Doha.
The first point on the program was Al Khor, one of the largest cities in Qatar. It is noticeable that new buildings are being built in the city, and facilities are being improved. Al Khor has the appearance of a modern city, unlike the past, when it was known for its pearl mining and its port with fishing boats and vessels.
The Purple Island is another interesting place that we visited with our tour guide Sajid. The island is uninhabited. Here you can observe marine species and take a canoe trip. It is connected to the mainland by a wooden path surrounded by mangrove forests.
After taking nice photos and videos, we headed to Al Zubara Fort. We saw that the fort had thick walls, four towers, and there was also a well for drinking water, but over time it dried up. Today, the premises of Al Zubara serve as a museum. From the materials placed in the rooms, one can learn about the life of people in Qatar in the 18th-19th centuries.
After exploring the fort, we asked our guide to take us to “Shadows Traveling on the Sea of Day,” created by the Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson.
The twenty round shelters seem scattered across the desert landscape, but they are arranged according to the axes of a pentagonal pattern. Ten of them, which are in the center, form a pentagram, and the lower sides of the round roofs are covered with mirror panels. Everything we saw on the half-day tour was very interesting for us.
We thank Golden Adventures for their assistance in making the excursion possible. We thank our guide Sajid for being with us and taking us to visit and explore these interesting places in Northern Qatar.

Confortable car tour visiting different sites along north and west Qatar. The guide Wassem ul Haq was very pleasant and spoke lot of qatar and Muslim culture. The fort and heritage village were the most nice places.★

5/5
1. Nice architectural structure.
2. Parking available
3. Amenities such as toilets available near the parking area
4. Bulletin boards and other details available inside to know more about the place and its history.
5. Good place to do team building such as what we did. We assembled in front of Al Zubara Fort then we go to the nearby beach for the beach clean up.★
