To get to Umm Salal Mohammed by car, take the Doha Expressway, named the D-Ring Road in the city, towards the north for about 15 minutes until a sign will indicate the turn off to Umm Salal Mohammed. Once you reach the town, take a right at the main intersection to reach the fort, which you are likely to have already spotted by this time.
