    This fort is always close, but luckily it's open tonight and I had the chance to see what's inside.

    I got to the fort in the evening so there were no camels that I saw in some of the photos. With the lights it look pretty but with walls rather low, even its tower, I wonder what role it serves as a fort. Maybe it is just my perception that fort needs to be high to be effective.

    This is located very close to Souq Waqif. The don't allow people inside. All you can do is to take a photograph from the outside. Maybe if you are a good photographer, you can click a nice photograph against the night sky.

    AlKoot Fort featured art installations by the artist Hadeer Omar during the Tasweer Photo Festival 2023. This was a great opportunity to highlight the artist's work and the cultural/ architectural heritage.

    Built in 1927 the Alkoot fort was used as a police station to protect nearby Suq Waqif. Later on it was used as a jail. Now it is a museum. Must visit to see its architecture.

    This is one of the few sites to take in when visiting Qatar. The fortress looks like it has been recently restored and is in quite good condition. A few displays inside on various aspects of Qatar history to take in.

    (Translated by Google) As everyone knows, it's the worst insurance company in the world. If there was less than a star, I would have given it. The important question: Why does the notorious Al Koot company continue to expand while providing services so poorly? Knowing that all of its clients suffer from its unprofessional services. Why all this support for Kut? Is it a Qatari company? Therefore, big companies are forced to deal with them, even if they cause disruption to patients, which leads to their harm? Many of its clients say that they do not go to clinics to conduct important health checks, or to diagnose a specific disease, due to Kut's trivial procedures, and their negotiations in approvals and explanations, due to their immediate disagreement with many diagnoses like other insurance companies. However, this company, which everyone hates, continues its services, and closes the door to other (professional) insurance companies. (Original) كما بعرف الجميع، أنها أسوأ شركة تأمين في العالم على الإطلاق. لو كانت هناك اقل من نجمة كنت حطيتها. السؤال المهم: لماذا تستمر شركة الكوت ذات السمعة السيئة في التوسع وهي تقدم خدمات في منتهى السوء؟ مع العلم، بأن جميع عملائها يعانون من خدماتها غير المهنية. لناذا كل هذا الدعم للكوت؟ هل لأنها شركة قطرية؟ ولذلك تجبر الشركات الكبرى للتعامل معها، حتى و إن كانت تتسبب بتعطيل المرضى، مما يؤدي إلى ضررهم؟ يقول كثير من عملائها، أنهم لا يذهبون الى العيادات لإجراء فحوصات مهمة لصحتهم، او للتشخيص عن مرض معين، وذلك بسبب إجراءات الكوت التافهة، و مفاوضاتهم في الموافقات والشروحات وذلك بسبب عدم موافقتهم الفورية لكثير من التشخيصات مثل باقي شركات التأمين. مع ذا، تستمر هذه الشركة التي يبغض الجميع خدماتها، و يغلق الباب أمام شركات التأمين الأخرى (المهنية).
