Continuing the road from the Zubarah fort, towards the north of Qatar, you can see some fishermen villages ruins, if you are lucky. These qatari heritage places are unfortunately not indicated from the road, as most of the other places. You have to take a sand and rocks trail before you arrive to the village’s entrance. Out of the three listed villages on the Heritage of Qatar website, we only found one, Al Jemail (26°5’40.96″N 51°9’14.27″E).

Entrance of the village

The village’s entrance is indicated by a sign that says that it is an heritage place – riddled with bullets, maybe some warmly national heritage supporters! The mosque stands in the middle of the houses, mostly in ruins, theirs walls, made of stone and shells, collapsed.

The village, and the sea

Alone, the mosque’s minaret resisted the departure of the inhabitants and time’s erosion…
