This site is always open and there is no admission fee. We recommend driving a four-wheel-drive and bringing a GPS device. Consider packing a bag and taking a swim in the sea near the ancient town. Bring along some snacks and refreshments, as the nearest restaurant is in Madinat Al-Shamal. Please remember not to litter the area and to take any garbage back with you.
You can also visit Al-Zubarah fort, which is now a local museum offering an overview of the long history of the Al-Zubarah town. The exhibit includes coins from West Africa, pieces of pottery, Chinese porcelain, Thai celadon, jewelry made with semi-precious stones and pictures of the archaeological excavations. Public restrooms are available at Al-Zubarah fort.
