I never knew anything about Qatar's rich history in the early Pearl trade, and this site and area are such a tremendous resource and find that tells the story so well. Thank you UNESCO! The fort and village and history are do insightful in the telling. Plan on a long drive.

If you're looking at a comprehensive tour of Qatar, it is worth the long drive to the fort. The presentations and literature on site give a general idea of life in olden Qatar in the area.
