Al Thaqab, Al Zubara and A Deserted Fishing Village

 On our way to Al Thaqab we found a deserted fishing village complete with a mosque. It was on the Western coast of Qatar with the Persian Gulf lapping at the sandy/rocky beach.

 I climbed to the top of the minaret for a panoramic view.

 To get to our destinations today we off-roaded in the Joneses Honda Pilot. Punctured tires a possibility. Oh, but so worth it! Kudos to Brendon for finding these obscure bits of history (no signs, no roads, no directions)

 The Al Zubara Fort is under restoration.
