Umm Salal Mohammed

A pair of watchtowers built in the late 19th century. They were completely rebuilt in 2003, complete with air conditioners, and are no longer truly 'authentic', but it is worthwhile to climb the towers which offer good views of the surrounding village. Photographing the towers can be good in either the early morning or late afternoon, though if you want to take a picture of the front of the mosque, which faces east, it is better to go in the morning.

This tower was built as a residence for Sheikh Jasim Bin Mohammed al Thani in the late 19th century. The building is still inhabited and is not open to the public, but can be viewed from the outside.

These burial mounds on the northern edge of the village are believed to date back to the Dilmun culture of 3000 BCE.

This site was inhabited from the 7th to the 1st centuries BCE, and the remains of numerous dwellings, towers, and graves, can be found scattered across the area. The most interesting structures are circular arrangements of stone slabs on the ground, which are believed to mark grave sites.
