Also known as Al Khawr, which translates to "sea on three sides" in Arabic, this city is older than Doha but much smaller in size. Located just 50 kilometers north of Doha, Al Khor was once the heart of Qatar's pearling industry, though it lost its prominence after the advent of cultured pearls. Today, it is home to a picturesque harbor where traditional fishing dhows can be seen, a corniche that leads to mangrove forests, and a museum that highlights the region's fishing, pearling, and dhow-building heritage.
