Al Zubarah Fort is part of the Al Zubarah Archaeological Site on the northwestern coast of Qatar, about 105 km (65 mi) north of the capital of Doha. The site was a pearling and trading center in the 18th and 19th centuries, and the name is derived from the Arabic word for “sand mounds.” Built in 1938, the fort served as a Qatari Coast Guard station before being converted to a museum for archaeological finds from the site.
