Qal'at Murair

Information

Qal'at Murair was built by the Utub tribe Al-Khalifa in 1778, just two years after their arrival in Zubarah.[2] It was built in attempt to thwart off challenges by the Al Musallam branch of the Bani Khalid, who ruled over most of Qatar.[3] They initiated the 1783 Utub invasion of Bahrain from the fort.
