Old Doha
Yesterday, I took a ride to Al Zubarah, it is an old fort which was there to protect a trading village on the Persian Gulf. It is not so much that the place was ancient; it was only 200 years old. It felt ancient because 200 years ago people were diving for pearls and hand digging their wells 10 meters down through limestone. One picture is a diving stone used to weigh down a diver to get to the oysters faster.
