Its the one of the historical places in QATAR by the way they have a few of them....... So I recomend to see there but there is no staff who direct u for anything or even no a real toilet over there... If we think about the fifa 2022 they should care of there a bit more

One of the historic places in Qatar which is still maintained by Qatar Museums. They are watchtowers built in the 19th century. The historic place is located inside the city and is very accessible. On entering itself there will be a guide who will show you around the place.

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 youre an old world explorer.

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 couldnt get inside the towers. But I would recommend to visit this place.

Nice place to see if you love seeing old structures. You will have an idea how they live here long ago. The place is already furnished and reinforced to stand strong. No entrance fee. You just need to log your name in the book. A caretaker is always there to welcome guests. He speaks little english but is accommodating. He will guide u around and will open the buildings so u will have a chance to see the interiors. Lots of climbing and opening of doors toward the top. You need to be tall to see the surroundings when u r on top of the tower.

Barzan Towers is only one of the many heritage sites in Qatar that preserve the rich culture of the country. Found 14 miles out of Doha, in Umm Salal Mohammed, Barzan (which translates to “high place” in Arabicstands 14 meter tall.It was said to have served as a lookout to protect local water sources, and as an observatory to determine the dates of the lunar calendar - most important during Ramadan and Eid!Planning a visit?

19th century watchtowers and fort by the side of an oasis used for spotting the enemy and for the protection of oasis. A fine example of Arabian architecture. Historic place worth seeing.

These beautiful towers dominate the desert skyline. For more than a century, they’ve provided a vantage point for both scanning the horizon for enemies and tracking the movements of the celestial world.

Theres potential here, its well maintained and can be developed further with additional information for visitors and may be add a facility or two. I actually like how low-key and quiet the place is.

Nice to see, if in Doha for a long time and bored with usual stuff. The maintenance could be better, interiors of the towers are dirty and full of bird faeces. The area could be converted to a public park. Toilets are available.

Its one of the oldest buildings around, two fortified towere, has a Wikipedia article and is open to the public to explore. So in that way its almost completely unique in Doha. However its been recently rebuilt to the extent that you cant tell that its old and its also absolutely covered in bird poop. Also theres zero information on site about its history or that of the area.
