Event
Discover the daily life of Al Zubarah, Qatar’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site. Once a thriving hub of trade and pearl fishing in the early nineteenth century, this historic town welcomed merchants and travellers from across the region. Through archaeological research, we now uncover its rich past—where majalis were adorned with incense burners, dates were served in imported porcelain, and intricate gypsum carvings decorated grand entryways.
