- Al Khor - Also known as Al Khawr, translates to “sea on three sides” in Arabic. Although older than Doha, it is significantly smaller. Al Khor is conveniently located 50 kilometers north of Doha. It was once the hub of Qatar’s pearling industry but lost prominence with the advent of cultured pearls. Today, it features a picturesque harbor with traditional fishing dhows, a corniche leading to mangrove colonies, and a museum highlighting the fishing, pearling, and dhow-building industries.
- Purple Island - Al Khor Island - This tranquil island, nestled in nature beyond Al Khor, is rich in mangroves and lush greenery. Purple Island offers a chance to reconnect with nature, away from the city’s hustle and bustle. With options for long walks, family picnics, and kayaking, Purple Island has something for everyone in the family.
- Al Zubara Fort - Located in the northwestern part of Qatar, Al Zubarah Fort was constructed beside the ruins of an ancient fort. Al-Zubarah was once a thriving port and a center for trade, fishing, and pearling. Now a UNESCO World Heritage site, this protected area is one of Qatar’s most significant archaeological sites. An international team of archaeologists and antiquities experts, led by the Qatar Museums Authority, has uncovered numerous artifacts displayed in the renovated fort.
- 2394+R3 - This site-specific artwork comprises twenty circular shelters, three single rings, and two double rings, which initially seem randomly scattered across the desert landscape. However, they are arranged according to the axes of a fivefold symmetrical pattern, with ten shelters at the center forming a pentagram. The principles behind these patterns were recently discovered by Western mathematicians, although they may have influenced some sophisticated designs in Islamic cultures since medieval times.
