The maxim the best things come in tiny packages certainly applies to this charming city. There are a ton of things to do in Madinat ash Shamal, from world-class tourist destinations to exhilarating activities.


Madinat ash Shamal Park is located near the Al Shamal Municipality's administrative building. It is one of Qatar's bigger parks, covering 56,000 square meters. There are restrooms, a restaurant, a play area for kids, and a café in the park. The park has water features and an irrigation system to maintain all of its different vegetation.


Fuwairit Beach, located on Qatar's northeastern coast, is a popular hideaway for foreigners, tourists, and locals. Wade into the Persian Gulf's azure waters while burying your toes in the fine sand. Visit Fuwairit Beach for a peaceful getaway that is both easily accessible by car and remote enough from the city to avoid crowds.


Given the desolate desert backdrop and lack of signage, an Al Jassasiya visit may initially seem unimpressive. However, if you look a little closer, you'll quickly see the incredible petroglyphs for which this site is known. Petroglyphs can be seen on Bahrain's Al Hawar Island and the coast of Qatar, but the Al Jassasiya monument is the most remarkable.


Visits to Freiha are a must for anyone with a passion for history and archaeology while in Qatar. This abandoned town on the northwest shore of the peninsula is one of the many ancient sites found throughout the nation.


Al Rakayat Fort, which was built in the 19th century and refurbished in 1988, is one of the numerous fortifications that have been abandoned on the Qatari peninsula. Visit Al Rakayat Fort to view the usual architecture and building techniques that were quickly accomplished using local resources. The building offered protection from the sun and defense against foes.
