The Arab country Qatar invites visitors with its natural and cultural heritage, which shows the development of the country’s history. Getting to know the culture can be interesting for those who love history and also those, who want to spend their holiday by the seaside or one of the national parks. The past of life in Qatar can be seen at various archaeological sites, such as the petroglyphs in the Jebel Jassassiyeh area, at the famous Ras Abrouq cliff on the Abrouq Peninsula there, and around the Qala’at Fort at the Umm Al Maa archaeological site, which is known for its cemetery from periods of the Bronze Age. Some towers from the 19th and 20th centuries are also interesting starting points for sightseeing:
