Cultural Heritage
PUSHING THE FIELD
Our Cultural Heritage division covers archaeology, architectural conservation, and cultural tourism. We manage, conserve, protect and enhance archaeology and archaeological practices in Qatar.
Find out more about what we are doing across the field here.
We design activities at our visitor centres that urge interaction and get residents excited about our discipline.
We place special focus on school groups and partnered with UCL Qatar to introduce archaeology degree programmes to university students. These will open up possibilities for locals with an interest in the subject to get involved in the safeguarding of Qatar’s cultural heritage.
To progress the archeology field more generally, we invite conversations with the international community. We regularly welcome specialists from other parts of the world, hold conferences and engage in international cooperative projects. Qatar hosted the 38th Session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee in June 2014, and QM was a key partner.
QATAR TOWERS: These provide fantastic vistas of the world below, as well as peaceful space for contemplation.
QATAR FORTS: Scattered across the nation, forts offer a glimpse of a time when tribes were constantly on alert for invading armies.
AL ZUBARAH: Recently made a UNESCO World Heritage site, this space provides an insight into Qatar’s cultural identity.
NEW LIFE FOR OLD QATAR: As well as forts and towers, our team reinvigorates historic areas.
RESTORATION ABROAD: Alongside work in Qatar, our archaeology team shares knowledge and experience with other parts of the world, such as Sudan.
