Barzan Towers - Doha

The Barzan Towers were built in the late 19th century and were renovated in the early 20th century to serve as watchtowers against the incoming Ottoman soldiers. Unfortunately due to COVID-19 we couldn't get inside the towers. But I would recommend to visit this place.

Interesting spot with decent historical information. It was not possible to climb to the top of the towers when I was here.

While this place is currently under repair, I was able to get in before it all happened. I and my mother were the only people there at the time. Such a peaceful place with an interesting story. Do yourself a favour and read about it before going as it makes the journey slightly outside the main city even more worth it. A great spot to pretend like you're an old world explorer.

The place is little away from highway. Roads are there. Even cars can go. Quiet environment. Neatly maintained

Watchtowers are Barzan towers. The distance to the venue is worth it. The surroundings are beautiful. The residence of Sheikh Al Thani is located fairly close by.
