5. Al Jassasiya Rock Carvings

At first glance, an Al Jassasiya visit may seem anticlimactic, given the barren desert setting and lack of signage, yet dig a bit further and you’ll soon discover the astonishing petroglyphs for which this site is renowned. While petroglyphs can be found along Qatar’s coast and on Al Hawar Island in Bahrain, the Al Jassasiya site is the most impressive.
