Old Forts in Qatar?
By maxheadspace •
Looking for old forts to explore in Qatar. Anyone know of any? Need specific directions getting there, too. Already know about Al Zubara...more interested in the less known, more out of the way forts that people have referred to as "4-wheel drive accessible only." And yes, I've googled this every which way with poor results.
Many thanks in advance!

check this website:
www.heritageofqatar.org They have a list of the forts on it. Good luck
I remember them building that. I wouldn't have called it old.
Lusail.
I don't know what it is now but there is a military area somewhere up near Lusail on the coast that was a test firing area.
The fence and signs were put up because there was possibly unexploded munitions so it may be worth checking.
Who knows what's the fort can be seen from the distance (by the sea) which is opposite Lusail? There are some ruins as well I think. It's a shame there is no entrance from the main road to get there, it's blocked by some constraction's fence :-((
One fort they demolished....the Castle roundabout..other forts I dont know.
