21 ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HERITAGE SITES the northern coast of Qatar On the north-west coast of Qatar, lies a small traditional but ruined village of Al Jumail. It was inhabited by the Al Kubaisi family, and even nowadays it is still one of the favorite weekend destinations of local families, since it represents their heritage, history, the roots and origin of their ancestors. The village comprises a set of important traditional buildings, including a small mosque with its minaret still intact. It dates back to the second half of the 19th century and was still inhabited until the beginning of the 20th century. GPS Coordinates: E N Al Jassasiya - Most impressive Qatari site with rock carvings Al Jassasiya is one of a dozen and greatest rock-carving (so called petroglyphs) sites that can be found not only in Qatar but also on Bahrain s Al Hawar Island. First discovered in 1957, these rock carvings consist mainly of cup marks in various arrangements, including rows, rosettes and stars, but also of carvings, such as boats, footprints and enigmatic symbols and signs. It is believed that the cup marks are used for playing ancient board games. One of these board games may have been mancala, known in Qatar as Al Haloosa or Al Huwaila. While it has previously been suggested that the earliest of these rock-carvings might date back to the Neolithic period, new evidence makes it likely that they are not more than a few hundred years old.

Investigations have revealed that while the island was probably never permanently times. It served as a place of transit, a temporary campsite for trade with Bahrain and was used by itinerant the 2nd millennium BCE. Later, it served as a production Period (second half of 2nd millennium BCE), as a camp for pearling expeditions during the Sassanian Period (400 While there are currently no traces of those itinerant residents, the island is worth visiting thanks to its natural heritage, including many mangroves that survive in salty, among others) that travel to the island during the winter months. GPS Coordinates: E N Al Rakayat & Al Thagab Forts - Guarding valuable water resources, wells, for nearby coastal villages Located on the road between Al Zubarah and Madinat Al Shamal, those are one of the few forts that were renovated in the 1980s. It is believed that the forts were built to protect the essential sources of water in this place. The existence of a freshwater well in the fort itself and the scattered remains of a village close to the fort support this assumption. In addition, the forts were a secure place for the nearby population in case of potential The Al Rakayat fort follows the typical plan of a desert fort: it has three rectangular towers and a round one. Aligned around the three sides of the large central courtyard are narrow rooms without windows, but with doors that open to the courtyard. The only entrance to the fort is located in the southern wall. Meanwhile, Al Thagab fort itself also represents a typical desert fort with a rectangular shape, built of rough with three round corner towers and one rectangular tower.
