Zekreet Fort, Archaeological site in Al-Shahaniya, Qatar.
The rectangular fort structure contains four circular watchtowers positioned at each corner and stands near the western coastline of Qatar.
Built between 1809 and 1812 by tribal leader Rahma bin Jaber Al Jalahmah, the fort served as a defensive structure using local faroush stones.
The fort includes date pressing facilities with parallel channels and underground collection systems for producing traditional date syrup.
Visitors can access the fort from Saturday to Thursday between 9 AM and 5 PM, and on Friday from 12:30 PM to 5 PM.
Three incomplete towers at the corners of the fort reveal unfinished construction work, displaying the original architectural development phases.
