The fort was initially built by Ottomans but served many roles over the years. Al Koot Fort is square, with one rectangle and three round towers topped with typical Qatari battlements and triangular-based ledges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guards utilised ledge slits to mount guns and protect against attackers. The courtyard mosque in the fort lacks walls and a roof, allowing guards to observe convicts utilising it during prayers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the Koot Fort has now transformed into a museum, the visits are scheduled by appointment only.
