The site, located approximately 100 km northwest of Doha, extends 2.5 km from Al Zubarah Fort to the coast. Founded in the mid-eighteenth century, the town became the country’s largest and most significant settlement. Its prosperity attracted other Gulf powers, and after several attacks, the town was burned down in 1811. By the early 20th century, it was abandoned. Today, the site spans 60 hectares, featuring remains of houses, mosques, date presses, large fortified buildings, and a market.
