OVERVIEW
Kayaking in Al Thakira Mangroves. A great way to explore the mangroves is by kayak. A large area of vegetation attracting varied birdlife, including flamingos and herons, Al Thakira mangroves, can be found just north of the seaside city of Al Khor, and present a large expanse of natural greenery in sharp contrast to the surrounding desert landscape. 
Al Zubara Fort is a historic Qatari military fortress built under the oversight of Sheikh Abdullah bin Jassim Al Thani in 1938, built to serve as a Coast Guard station. It was later renovated into a museum to display diverse exhibits and artworks, most especially for contemporarily topical archaeological findings. The Zubara Fort- Qatar’s first UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE is well known as an archaeological landscape.
