Al Zubara

This well-preserved military fort was first constructed in 1938 by Sheikh Abdullah bin Jassim Al Thani as a coast guard station. Since then, the Al Zubarah fort has become a police station and today, it serves as a famous landmark museum where people can visit and appreciate the neutral architecture.

Originally built by Sheikh Abdullah bin Jassim Al Thani in 1938 to serve as a Coast Guard station, this fort has since been renovated into a museum to display diverse exhibits and artworks — most especially for contemporarily topical archaeological findings. The fort’s reddish-orange walls are a great contrast to the normally blue skies and it serves as an excellent background for some interesting lifestyle or portrait shots.
