Al Khor city was once a famous centre for the pearl industry in Qatar. Its skyline is dominated by 3 watchtowers, some of which have been restored to their original appearance. A popular beach in Al Khor is Al Thakhira Beach, where you can relax under the sun, cooled by the gentle breeze. Fishing and kayaking are some of the most popular activities here. Al Wakrah is exactly what you might imagine when trying to picture a typical Arabian town. Despite its proximity to Doha, it’s an excellent place to escape the shadows of the capital looming skyscrapers. By the pier, you’ll find the Al Wakrah Heritage Village, where you can get a taste of medieval life in Qatar. Located just 10 km north of Doha, Umm Salal Mohammed is a fortified town full of historic structures and 3 protected environmental areas. In total, the Sunai, Wadi Sultan, and Umm Al Amad as you can see in the Map of Qatar with cities, reserves span nearly 10 sq km with rich biodiversity and sprawling desert scrub landscapes.
Mesaieed is a small industrial city between Doha and Al Wakrah, but its sand dune adventures are making it an increasingly popular day-trip destination in Qatar. Here, you can paraglide or bounce over the dunes in a 4x4 as the sun sets over the desert. If you want to relax after a day of adventure, you can have a candlelit traditional dinner under a starry sky before returning to Doha. Al Zubarah as its shown in the Map of Qatar with cities, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2013, is one of Qatar most impressive walled cities. While it flourished as a trading centre during the 18th and 19th centuries, it was abandoned in the early 19th century when the pearl trade diminished. Fortunately, sand blown from the desert has preserved the remains of historic buildings such as palaces, courtyard houses, fisherman huts, and mosques.
Al Ruwais city was once one of Qatar most important fishing centres, which is evidenced by the historical fisherman huts that take you on a journey back in time. Its namesake 17th-century mosque is believed to be the oldest in the nation. Besides its historical structures and a large port, most travellers visit Al Ruwais for the nearby Al Jassasiya Carvings as its mentioned in the Map of Qatar with cities. Khawr al Udayd lies just next to the border of Saudi Arabia. Nicknamed the ‘Inland Sea,’ the settlement is one of the few places in the world where the sea encroaches deep into the desert. No roads lead to this Qatari nature reserve, but it is worth driving over the dunes to relax next to the tranquil expanse of water. Al Jumail is an abandoned village between Al Arish and Al Ruwais in Qatar Al Shamal municipality. Before Qatar economic boom, the country was largely dependent on the pearl farming and fishing trades. When such trades became obsolete, coastal towns such as Al Jamail were abandoned, leaving a treasure trove of historical structures for tourists to visit.

Doha and Al Wakra attempted to retaliate in a very bloody sea battle.
