Once the residence of a prominent trader, the large house complex highlights the variety of architectural styles and changes across time.

Once belonging to a captain and owner and pearling vessels, the compound features two winter houses and a summer house.

Originally owned by Ahmed Bin Omran, a notable pearl trader, the compound is situated in close proximity to the Large Mosque and the seashore.

Located behind the fort, these six restored compounds provide a unique insight into the traditional living quarters in the area.

Formerly the only mosque in the region its excavated remains makes it the largest religious building in the area.

Built in the 1960s, the mosque shows traces  of multiple storeys and modifications that predate its origins.

Masjid Bint Samikh, named after Aisha Bint Samikh, is a historic mosque at the souq’s end. Restored in the 1950s, it features a minaret inspired by Al Ahsa’s classical design. The mosque has roots in Al Jazeera Al Hamra, where Aisha Bint Samikh, who frequently visited after relocating to Saudi Arabia, helped restore it.

Newly opened to the public, these two pathways allow visitors to stroll through Al Jazeera Al Hamra Heritage village, from the Fort to the Souq.

The round watchtower is the older part of the fortification complex, built to secure access to the former island.

Originally situated a few metres from the coastline, Al Jazeera Al Hamra’s souq was the heart of all commercial activity of the area.
