Zekreet Fort Ruins
FRRV+2RW, Zekreet
Ruined beach-stone fort with three corner towers, built by a Gulf pirate captain along a windswept desert coastline.
This guide to the Zekreet Fort ruins on Qatar's coast follows Rahma bin Jaber Al Jalahmah, a horse trader turned Gulf pirate captain who built this unfinished stone fort between 1809 and 1812. It traces his reputation, an eyepatch earned in battle and a fleet of hundreds of men, and the coastline his lookouts once watched from these towers.
