Ain Mohammed Heritage Village
Ain Mohammed is a village located 3.5 km north of Al Zubarah Archaeological Site. It sits directly opposite the new Al Zubarah Visitor Centre.
The village dates back to the nineteenth century and is believed to have been abandoned in the late twentieth century. It consists of 24 buildings, including 2 mosques and a fort. Due to the variety of building materials and styles used in the architecture, it appears that the area went through three different periods of construction.
The village has recently been consolidated in an effort to repurpose it as a site for heritage activities and traditional sports, among other programmes, and overnight stay options.
There are many public artworks in the vicinity of Ain Mohammed Heritage Village, Shadows travelling on the sea of the day by Olafur Eliasson, SlugTurtle TemplEarthby Ernesto Neto, and Maqam I, Maqam II, Maqam III by Simone Fattal.
