We Almost Missed This
We Almost Missed This
We worked our way out of Doha on the major Highway #1 north which, like everything else in Qatar, is under construction. We finally got out of the city and blew right by Umm Salal Muhammed; so we had to backtrack into this very small town. After asking around and showing random people pictures of the “ancient fort” from the internet, we found our way to what we thought was the site.
It seemed sort of odd to all of us that the site of the old fort looked like a fort on top, but someone’s junky residence on the bottom. We tried to ask someone at a local mosque if this was the old fort and got some sort of encouraging answer, but we were not too sure. Anyway, here’s a composite slideshow of the pictures we all took there. The music is from the song “Kidda” by Natacha Atlas from the album “Arabic Groove”.
OK, now it’s on to our next destination...Umm Salal Ali, (I’ll blog that part of the trip tomorrow).
