Qatar: A Modern Gulf State in the Desert

Qatar is an Arab country located on the west coast of the Persian Gulf in the Middle East, with Doha as its capital. Despite its small size, Qatar is one of the richest countries in the world due to its rich natural gas resources. With Islam as the state religion and Arabic as the official language, the country's culture is a blend of tradition and modern development, with iconic buildings such as the Kata Tower and the Roussel Stadium (home of the 2022 World Cup) highlighting its international ambitions. The economy is dependent on LNG exports (one of the largest in the world), and has attracted global attention in recent years with its aggressive diversification into finance, tourism and education. As a key hub in the Gulf region, Qatar is a unique blend of desert and urban sophistication, where East meets West.
