Beskrivning
Denna speciella turné tar dig till Qatars förflutna. Varifrån allt började. Den norra delen av Qatar, som spelar en stor roll i landets rika kulturhistoria. Börjar turen med Al Khors hamn, landets centrum för pärldykning och fiske i gamla tider. Och gamla fartyg som reparerar och renoverar varvet. Efter det kommer du att besöka Al-Thakira mangrove. Vilket är en av Qatars dolda pärlor. AL THAKIRA MANGROVE SKOGEN ÄR bland Qatars äldsta och största skogar. Och sedan kommer du att besöka Al Zubara Fort.

Al Khor är en kuststad i norra Qatar, som ligger 50 kilometer norr om huvudstaden Doha. Al Khor styrdes av Al Muhannadi, en stam som består av flera beduinfamiljer. Al Khors hamn, landets centrum för pärldykning och fiske i gamla tider. Och gamla fartygsreparationer och renoveringar av varvet.
Den är nära knuten till Al Khor City, där båda har grundats av Al Muhannadi-stammen. Liksom andra kustnära bosättningar i området förlitade sig dess invånare historiskt sett enbart på pärlemor och fiske för näring. Tillsammans med Al Khor City finns ungefär 1 392 hektar mangroveskog strax utanför kusten, vilket gör kustlinjen mellan Al Thakhira och Al Khor City till Qatars mest tätbefolkade mangrovehabitat. AL THAKIRA MANGROVE SKOGEN är bland Qatars äldsta och största skogar.
Al Zubara Fort är en historisk militärfästning från Qatar som byggdes under överinseende av Sheikh Abdullah bin Jassim Al Thani 1938. Detta 1900-talsfort är det yngsta och mest framträdande kännetecknet för Al Zubarahs arkeologiska plats, en UNESCO:s världsarvsplats. Ett orördt exempel på ett typiskt arabiskt fort, dess en meter tjocka väggar avvärjde inkräktare och hjälpte till att hålla rummen svala under varm sommar. Fortet, som finns med på UNESCO:s världsarvslista som ett erkännande för sitt bevarande och som ett unikt exempel på en formativ period, är den perfekta platsen för fans av Mellanösterns historia att lära sig mer om militärlivet i Qatar på 18:e och 19:e århundraden.
På Qatars nordvästra kust ligger den lilla traditionella byn Al Jumail. Det har en gång bebotts av familjen Al Kubaisi, och är än idag ett favoritresmål för lokala familjer eftersom det representerar deras arv, historia och förfäders rötter. Byn består av en uppsättning viktiga traditionella byggnader, inklusive en liten moské med minareten fortfarande intakt. Denna by har anor från tidigt artonhundratal och var fortfarande bebodd fram till mitten av nittonhundratalet.

Brilliant afternoon with Zubair going north from Doha on a boiling summer day. Well planned and organized itinerary, very good vehicle and attentive, knowledgeable and zen guide/driver. Highly recommended if you have some time and want to get out of Doha.
We contacted Qatar International Tours from our hometown (Munich, Germany) by email to arrange a trip through the north of Qatar. Communication was easy, replies were very fast, and we received a great offer, which we paid before traveling. Once in Qatar, we stayed in touch via WhatsApp to organize meeting points and schedules. Everything went smoothly and effortlessly. We were picked up at our hotel in central Qatar and started our tour at 8:30 a.m. Our first stop was Al Khor, where we visited the fish market and went kayaking in the young mangroves that are now growing in Qatar. The boats were safe and family-friendly, making the experience easy and enjoyable for everyone. Our tour guide, Mr. Prakash, knew the best timing, so we went at high tide, which allowed us to see the mangroves’ famous highlights: fish breeding grounds, colorful birds, and more. We had a small hiccup, we forgot our change of clothes at the hotel—but Mr. Prakash took us to a mall so we could buy dry clothes, turning it into a fun little adventure. Lunch at an Arabian restaurant was amazing, so many flavors, and truly delicious! Afterward, we visited the UNESCO World Heritage sites and returned to our hotel around 6 p.m. We are especially grateful to Mr. Prakash, who shared so much knowledge about Qatar, its history, and how life works in a country where people from so many different nations live together. Thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality.
Thank you for the feedback
Zubair was a fantastic guide! We spent enough time at each of the destinations and took plenty of photos. We got to ask lots of questions about all things Qatar!
It was a great experience with Adventure Time Tourism. I had the pleasure of the tour arrangement with Mehti for sales and Abdul Sattar as the driver. Both gentlemen were very accommodating, hospitable and professional. With a special request, they allowed the addition of one location to the tour with a fee, as well as change the drop off location so I can continue with my own exploring of Qatar. The driver Abdul was very good. He spoke very clearly and well, and his driving was so comfortable that I napped easily while commuting between tour sites. Well done!! Have faith and book your tours with this company!

Great tour of the north. Private so on your own terms. Zubair was informative and patient with my many questions and time at the site. It’s a great tour. Only downside is that I visited Qatar in summer- go a different time of year of your schedule allows when it is cooler. The fort and archeological site was amazing!!!
Great tour - Mohammed was very informative. Was good to see lots of history of Qatar. I would definitely recommend. The Fort was very interesting.
Excellent tour with Nawaz. He was a very good driver and guide and looked after us so well on a very hot day. The cold water was appreciated very much.
