Zekreet,Qatar
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
Contributor Fotog.farhan created this beautiful aerial video of the area around Zekreet, in the Middle Eastern nation of Qatar. Zekreet is located in the northwest part of the country, which lies in the northeastern corner of the Arabian Peninsula. Like so much in this oil-rich state, Zekreet's modern existence owes itself to proximity to Qatari oilfields and the equipment needed to produce them. It's also home to the Zekreet Fort, a fortification which is believed to be about 200 years old.
