Al Khor er en kystby i det nordlige Qatar, der ligger 50 kilometer nord for hovedstaden Doha. Betragtes som en af Qatars største byer. Al Khor er hjemsted for mange ansatte i olieindustrien på grund af dens nærhed til Qatars nordlige olie- og naturgasfelter og til Ras Laffan Industrial City. Det er et af de foreslåede spillesteder for Qatar 2022 World Cup.
The Purple Island, også kendt som Al Khor Island, er et smukt sted i Al Khor, omkring en times kørsel fra Doha. Det er en lille ø, forbundet med fastlandet af en smal sti, der er brudt på forskellige punkter for at lade vandet strømme mod mangroveskoven.
Al zubara også kendt som Fort Zubara(h) er en historisk militærfæstning fra Qatar bygget under opsyn af Sheikh Abdullah bin Jassim Al Thani i 1938.
Al Jumail, en forladt perle- og fiskerlandsby i det nordøstlige Qatar, som blev grundlagt i det 19. århundrede og var beboet langt ind i det 20. århundrede, forud for det økonomiske boom, som olie- og gasindustrien førte med sig. Byens navn kommer fra det arabiske ord "jameel", som betyder "smuk"; en reference til de træer, der vokser i området året rundt. Ifølge Wikipedia fik George Barnes Brucks i 1820'erne til opgave at forberede den første britiske undersøgelse af Den Persiske Golf, og han dokumenterede Al Jumail i denne undersøgelse og refererede til den som "Yamale".

The tour was amazing. Al Khor, Purple Island, Zubara Fort and the Al Jumail abandoned village are beautiful places. Anees was an amazing tour guide. 5 stars.
Our group (4 people) was picked up from the hotel in the Landcruiser. We had a very young guide who drove us from one point to another. There were no explanations for the individual stages, so he was more rider than tour guide. Also the specified time per stop is not correct, that always includes the arrival. So from 45 min Al Khor stayed 5 minutes, in the fish market, one round, out and on. The Purple Island can be reached with a brisk sprint over the jetty in the planned 15 minutes stop, there, back, further. Fortunately, the Zubara Fort is equipped with many notice boards, so you can make yourself known. The tea or coffee mentioned in the itinerary was cancelled due to Ramadan. Overall, the tour is already very interesting, the contrast between Doha and the hinterland could not be greater.
Nice tour and getaway from the city. Rizwan was a good driver and caring guide.
Very awesome experience. Our host was very friendly and informative. He took us to the mangroves, Purple Island, an abandoned village, a fort and even went off road to show us these sculptures in the middle of the dessert. Very nice of him. Excellent experience.
Guide was very attentive, the tour eh long but he was super helpful in every detail. At the stops we had enough time to take care of everything.
My tour guide Saad is really knowledgeable and interesting. He made the tour enjoyable and engaging. I really enjoyed the tour and had fun seeing the north of Qatar.
Thank you Saad Ahmed for a great tour!
We were never picked up, the driver's car had broken down. We were told he would be there 2 hours later, when we asked where he was, he wrote that he was on his way. After another 35 minutes of not hearing from him, we cancelled the trip, he never returned. Really bad service. Now we are anxiously waiting to see if Viator will refund our money.
We had a wonderful experience on this tour, and our guide Saad was outstanding. He was friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable, making the entire tour both informative and enjoyable. Saad shared great stories and insights that really brought the places we visited to life, and he made sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged throughout. The tour was well-organized and moved at a perfect pace, never feeling rushed. Saad’s positive energy and attention to detail made a big difference, and it was clear he genuinely cares about providing a great experience. I highly recommend this tour. It was a memorable and enjoyable experience from start to finish.
Wonderful day! We learned so much about the history and culture of the area from our guide as he drove us to the sites. We visited the pearl diving village reconstruction on the way back. We finished the day at the Qatar history museum and walked to the market. If you only have a day to visit, this should be on your list!
