    Umm Salal MohammedQatarLate 19th century / 1910

    The Barzan Towers are striking 16-meter-high watchtowers built in the late 19th century in Umm Salal Mohammed. Originally constructed to safeguard precious rainwater reserves and observe approaching ships or pearl divers, the towers hold a prominent place in Qatari military heritage. Local tales tell of watchful specters, phantom footsteps on spiral stairs, and unseen sentinels guarding the oasis.
