The stars might be hard to see inside the city of Doha, but those who drive far enough away from the lights can enjoy a beautiful night sky.

These shots were taken in the northern part of the country, in an old fisherman’s village called Al Jemail, according to photographer Antony Satheesh.

Notably, the abandoned town is now private property, states Qatar University.

But one blogger suggests alternative towns to explore:

“Besides Al Jemail, there are two other most prominent settlements along the north coast of Qatar: Al Khuwair and Al Areesh. Both of them can be found down the road to Zubara from Al Jemail.”

Thoughts?
