Al Wajbah Fort

Al Wajbah Fort, located in Qatar, was originally constructed in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The fort is renowned for its significant role in the battle where Qatari forces defeated an Ottoman expedition in 1893. Al Wajbah Fort served as the residence for Sheikh Hamad bin Abdullah Al Thani, thus holding a special historical significance among Qatar’s landmarks. The fort consists of rooms on both the ground and upper floors and is notable for its four watchtowers. After several restorations, the fort has been returned to its original state and stands today as a prominent historical monument.
