A remote peninsula on Qatar's northwest coast, Zekreet shelters a remarkable landscape of flat-topped mesa formations rising from a gravel plain — eroded limestone tables that photograph well against the surrounding emptiness. The area contains the remains of a historic pearling village and a Richard Serra sculpture installation. The coastal cliffs facing the Gulf offer dramatic views and the area is known for sightings of the endangered socotra cormorant during winter.
