    • Not a shabby museum for a country that didn't exist before 1971. It is a fine example of the traditional architecture that has largely been replaced by modern villas, shopping malls and skycrapers. Excellent examples of dhows used in the Gulf in pre-supertanker days.

    Directions: Off the Corniche, across from the Marriot hotel. You will find that you orientate yourself by hotels here!

    • Zubara fort, an hour ride accross the nearly deserted pensinsula, will conjur up memories of French Foereign Legion. It is not as old as old as it looks, only 70 some years, but is in every way an older, very traditional Arabian design. Inside is a small Museum about the abandoned city, the ruins of which are below the fort on the beach. Not a bad beach.. Great spot for a picnic.

    Directions: Across the peninsula from Doha. Only one large, paved road in that direction. Take the North Road Towards AL Khor and turn left at the Zubara sign.

    • In stark contrast to the Corniche and the relatively modern buildings that line it are the docks which cater to the fishing fleets of Qatar. The commercial fishing vessels are the classic designs of the Arabian Gulf. Little has changed apart from the transition from Sail to Diesel Engines. You will see the fisherman going about their jobs, fixing nets, unloading catches and repairing their vessels.
