Overview

Al Zubarah Archaeological Site is a significant archaeological site located in an unknown location, Qatar, and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The site features well-preserved remains of a pearling and trading centre from the 18th and 19th centuries.

History

The walled coastal town of Al Zubarah flourished as a major pearling and trading centre from the late 18th century to its destruction in 1811. After being abandoned, the site lay undisturbed until excavation began, revealing its rich history and cultural significance.

Architecture

The unique combination of architectural styles reflects the town's trading links across the Indian Ocean, Arabia, and Western Asia.
