northbound

Driving north of the city to hit the coastline to swing west and back down. Landscapes empty except for camels grazing leisurely roadside. We stopped at Al Zubarah Fort, a national historic site of Qatar. The tide was out, the highway mostly carless, the sky clear with a sun desperately trying to break through the thick clouds. Road trip inspired by Time Out Doha’s recent cover story, “Best Road Trips in Qatar“.
