What to do in Al Khor

Make a pleasant drive north of Doha to enjoy a public beach away from the tall skyscrapers of the capital city.

Working cows are on display at this huge dairy farm. Learn about the dairy industry and see other animals too.

Catch an event at Al Bayt Stadium during your trip to Al Khor. While you're in the area, stroll along the waterfront.

Take time out during a visit to Al Khor to see an excellent example of an early well that allowed residents to sustain life.

One of three defensive sites in Al Khor, this mud and stone tower stands tall close to the Persian Gulf, where guards once watched for pirates.

Known for the large mangrove reserves nearby, this shallow oceanfront area north of Doha is great for kayaking, bird-watching and fishing.

As you kayak between trees rising just off the shore north of Al Khor, think of the many pencil roots of the plants hiding below the water’s surface.

Surrounded today by pretty red benches, this tower was historically a critical element of the city’s defenses from forces invading by land or sea.
