Fish market is drawn below is not the formal fish market. Coz they are only using gardens dock to selling the fish. There is actually special fish market in Qatar. But the place is quite far from the city.
They sell the fish after wrap-ups sail, so that fish’s which in their sell still fresh. Price is acceptable which is cheap enough and we can bargain too.This photo was taken around 10 o’clock night since we failed getting fish
Qatar has quite an impressive number of forts from th 19th and early 20th centuries. Most of the old forts and towers are now crumbling and some have almost disappeared, those that remain, either in ruins or restored.
The fort was built by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Jassim during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It has an imposing structur consisting of two tapered towers, a wall measuring 24 by 14 metres, a number of hanging terraces and a series of majlis (sitting rooms) at different levels. The walls are made of stone and mud-bricks, covered with gypsum and the structure provided both civilian and military functions. (Marhaba)
The site of succesive communities at Al Zubara on the Northwest coast. The fort which now houses a regional museum, was built 1938 during reign of Sheikh Abdullah Bin Qassim Al Thani and was used by the military until mid 1980s. Zubara is the northern city about 110km from Doha. During the 1700s, Zubara was a flourishing trade centre and excavations shows that the city covered a site of some 60 hectares; the city walls with the bases of twenty towers have now been uncovered and are the subject of an archaelogical study. It is believed that many succesive settlements were founded in the same area, each one on top of the ruins of the last. The fort and village of Zubara were destroyed in a siege in September 1878.
