We drove up north to see the petroglyphs, which are collections of rare and amazing signs carved in stone, in Al-Jassasiyah.
Around the coasts of Qatar are low limestone hills [jebel] bearing numbers of petroglyphs, ranging from detailed depictions of boats to the enigmatic formations known as cup-marks. These cups possibly are use for the game called “haloosa”. The origin and date are not known yet.
