About: Ghaf Makin

An Entity of Type: settlement, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Ghaf Makin is an abandoned settlement in Qatar, located in the municipality of Ash Shamal. In 1917, it was described as a Bedouin camping ground with 6 wells yielding good water. It was also mentioned that a ruined fort was located in its confines. The landscape of Ghaf Makin is typified by its rawda.
