Road Trip to Uqair

Uqair is an ancient fort and the first seaport on the Persian Gulf. This place is located about an hour drive South of where we are living. There were plenty of signs on the drive warning of camel crossings.

It was 110 degrees by the time of arrival. Still had to wear face masks. There was no one else at the site. Most of the place was in ruins, but the palace and the fort were open for touring.

Ruins not open for exploring

This was a great place for pictures. The most popular pictures are of the stone columns that were part of an open air market.

Place was open to walk wherever you wanted with plenty of places to trip and fall.

Blair Witch 4 was filmed here.

Next to the fort was an ancient palace with views of the water.
