Richard Serra's East-West/West-East installation in the Zekreet Peninsula
The Zekreet Peninsula, also known as the Abrouq Peninsula, is a peninsula in western Qatar, located to the north of the industrial city of Dukhan. Much of the area is associated with erosional landforms such as foothills, mesas and gypsum plateaux.[1] The village of Zekreet, the Zekreet Film City, and the headland of Ras Abrouq (which includes a nature reserve for wild deer)[2] are all found on this stretch of land.[3] The peninsula is part of the Al Reem Biosphere Reserve.[4]
