Fascinating architectural style though constructed in recent times. It would have been even better if the towers had been open to climb to the top.

Silent , small area but nice . specially for photographic.

While this place is currently under repair, I was able to get in before it all happened. I and my mother were the only people there at the time. Such a peaceful place with an interesting story. Do yourself a favour and read about it before going as it makes the journey slightly outside the main city even more worth it. A great spot to pretend like you're an old world explorer.

Several old houses repurposed into museums that tell the story of various aspects of Doha before oil and wealth, including of slavery. Very well done.

Watchtowers are Barzan towers. The distance to the venue is worth it. The surroundings are beautiful. The residence of Sheikh Al Thani is located fairly close by.

Beautiful site rich of history & true heritage of Qatar culture. The sunset view from the towers is breath taking and highly recommended to visit and enjoy the beautiful site view and experience the real history and culture.

Quite interesting to see these old watchtowers. You are able to climb the stairs inside up to the roof area for a good view. Not too sure if I'd take young children as steps are quite steep.

Good for one time visit. Historical place with good architecture. No parking place available there. Good for explorers.

Nice place But not easy reachable A lot of construction all arround. The gatekeeper is a wonderful man

It's one of the oldest buildings around, two fortified towere, has a Wikipedia article and is open to the public to explore. So in that way it's almost completely unique in Doha. However it's been recently rebuilt to the extent that you can't tell that its old and it's also absolutely covered in bird poop. Also there's zero information on site about its history or that of the area.

(Translated by Google) I visited it some time ago, the doors of the towers were open and enjoyed going up to them, but today I found all the doors locked, unfortunately, what is the benefit of visiting archaeological sites if one cannot explore (Original) زرته من فتره كانت ابواب الأبراج مفتوحه واستمتعت بالصعود إليها لكن اليوم وجدت كل الأبواب مقفله للأسف مافائدة زيارة الأماكن الأثريه إذا لم يستطع المرء الإستكشاف

There are four museums. One, depicting a Qatari home changing throughout time. One telling the oil story of Qatar. One telling how slavery has influenced Qatar. One telling the story of a typical Qatari neighborhood that has changed due to technological, social and economic development.

The Barzan Towers historical place with Fascinating unique arabian architecture, an archaeological castle, Memories of old defense methods in Qatar Wonderful place to visit.Excellent Unique structure, Worth the time spent, If you're in Qatar drop a visit to The Barzan Towers is a must..! Here we go...some snaps from which I witnessed..cheers!! :D

Barzan Castle is a beautiful archaeological site in the State of Qatar, and the Ministry of Tourism attaches great importance in the State of Qatar to many monuments and monuments in the country in terms of protecting them from the air and land worlds, and also protecting them from any dangers.Honest efforts, and thanks to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism for its interest in such important archaeological monuments of precious value. I wish them continued progress and success in all fields.

A historical place, basic information only, all doors were locked. It's still worthy to pay a visit near sunset time.

Classic And Clam Environment

These beautiful towers dominate the desert skyline. For more than a century, they’ve provided a vantage point for both scanning the horizon for enemies and tracking the movements of the celestial world.

Nice fort to visit

Interesting history. Very hot though. Would recommend going in the evening.

Nicely done museum, and the best part- it is free! FYI there are 4 houses/ exhibit buildings shows case from Qatar oil history to cultural/ ethical higher missions the emir family has done or trying to achieve.

Fascinating. Its feels good to visit a preserved historical place like this 😍😍

One of the historic places in Qatar which is still maintained by Qatar Museums. They are watchtowers built in the 19th century. The historic place is located inside the city and is very accessible. On entering itself there will be a guide who will show you around the place.

Its the one of the historical places in QATAR by the way they have a few of them....... So I recomend to see there but there is no staff who direct u for anything or even no a real toilet over there... If we think about the fifa 2022 they should care of there a bit more

Empty..nothing to see non educational,not worth it wouldn’t recommend going

Beautiful place to explore qatar auto mobile museum and the architecture

May be nice to visit if you find it open... even if the tower is closed they should leave the park open. The access is a nightmare as the whole area is a building site and there are no roads.

I was there yesterday, but unfortunately it was closed. I cannot say more until i get a chance inside.

Barzan Towers is only one of the many heritage sites in Qatar that preserve the rich culture of the country. Found 14 miles out of Doha, in Umm Salal Mohammed, Barzan (which translates to “high place” in Arabic) stands 14 meter tall. It was said to have served as a lookout to protect local water sources, and as an observatory to determine the dates of the lunar calendar - most important during Ramadan and Eid! Planning a visit?

Nice place to see if you love seeing old structures. You will have an idea how they live here long ago. The place is already furnished and reinforced to stand strong. No entrance fee. You just need to log your name in the book. A caretaker is always there to welcome guests. He speaks little english but is accommodating. He will guide u around and will open the buildings so u will have a chance to see the interiors. Lots of climbing and opening of doors toward the top. You need to be tall to see the surroundings when u r on top of the tower.

Great place to explore

I'm already planning for a second trip. Very informative. Not a history class but enough to motivate you in doing more research. Be prepared to some reading. It would be great if the audio tour included dialogue for most of the things you'll be reading.

Lots to learn! Great place to visit. So much information.

I love the place. Empire coffee, best coffee in town

Interesting and interactive exhibitions with friendly staff to guide and assist.

Amazing place The place of Qatar's history and culture!

It tells a lot of Qatar history with its artistic building... Very reminded !

Very nice and friendly environment

متحف رائع يستاهل زيارة

Very nice place for history’s information

Msheireb Museums provide a great glimpse of Qatar’s history. All of them are at a walkable distance. I especially recommend the Slavery Museum.

It had a lot of similar paths and places and not a lot of signs, it felt like I was in a maze. If you're like me a person who easily gets lost, make sure you have and adult with you.

Nice ...

Four separate buildings having different stages of development of Qatar is displayed aesthetically. Modern technology is used in projecting the videos. In multiple screens continuous display of slavery was especially very good. The buildings are made in traditional way.

A lovely way to spend part of the afternoon. Some fascinating memorabilia and first hand accounts. The overview on slavery is quite eye opening. The interactive features are fun and informative. You can also take the tram through Msheireb if you like.

Amazing Place

3 museums are around the downtown and I liked walking around it and learning new stuff.

cool

Awesome museum. You can easily spend the day here. The museum consists of 4 seperate museums which are preserved Qatari houses. Lots of history to learn whilst enjoying a stroll outside from place to place. Staff were very helpful, especially upon arriving at the museum. Great experience.

I didn't seen

It's wonderful

Loved the ambience and calmness inside the museums. And yes the history it tells is fascinating

Nice place

lack of historic things especially slavery idea was good

Currently, Barzan Towers are under restoration and there is no date yet for its reopening.

The Barzan Towers were built in the late 19th century and were renovated in the early 20th century to serve as watchtowers against the incoming Ottoman soldiers. Unfortunately due to COVID-19 we couldn't get inside the towers. But I would recommend to visit this place.

The place is little away from highway. Roads are there. Even cars can go. Quiet environment. Neatly maintained

It's cool

Interesting spot with decent historical information. It was not possible to climb to the top of the towers when I was here.

Maybe most interesting place for a visit in Doha. No entrance fees and place is well restored. More instagram: @Hitchhikehighway

This was useful to see if in the area. What would have made it even better is if there was some more information available as not all buildings have boards to explain what they were and you couldnt go to the top of the towers. The sunset in the area was beautiful
