Best Beach in Qatar: Al Zubara Beach
Zubarah (also Al Zubarah or Az Zubarah) (Arabic: الزبارة) is a ruined and deserted town located on the north western coast of the Qatar peninsula in the Madinat ash Shamal municipality, about 105 km from the Qatari capital of Doha.
Al Zubarah was once a thriving pearl fishing and trading port positioned midway between the Strait of Hormuz and the west arm of the Persian Gulf. It is one of the largest and best preserved examples of an 18th-19th century merchant town in the Gulf. The entire layout and urban fabric of a settlement dating to this formative period in the region has been preserved as no other similar place in the Gulf. Al Zubarah provides an important insight into urban life, spatial organization, and the social and economic history of the Gulf before the discovery of oil and gas in the 20th century.
Covering an area of circa 400 hectares (60 hectares inside the outer town wall), Al Zubarah is Qatar's largest archaeological site. The site comprises the fortified town with a later inner and an earlier outer wall, a harbour, a sea canal, two screening walls, the fort of Murair, and the more recent Zubarah Fort.
Bani Utbah Tribe
There remains some uncertainty over the earliest mention of Al Zubarah in written documents. Most sources assert that people of the Utub tribe from Kuwait settled at Al Zubarah in the second half of the eighteenth century building a large town characterized by a safe harbour, thereby creating one of the principal emporiums and pearl trading centres of the Persian Gulf in the later 18th Century.[3] [4][5][6]
[edit] Qal'at Murair
The Murair fort or Qal`at Murair 1.65 km east of the town of Zubarah, was built shortly after the settlement of Al Zubarah. It served to defend Al Zubarah and especially protected the town's primary fresh water source: groundwater reached by shallow wells. Within the fortification walls were a mosque, domestic buildings and at least one large well. Around the fort, several enclosures attest to the presence of fields, plantations or holding pens for animals, suggesting that this was also an agricultural settlement.[7]
