QATAR - A DESTINATION OF DISCOVERY AND GATEWAY TO THE ARABIAN GULF

No longer one of the Gulf’s best kept secrets, Qatar has grown to become a major destination of discovery for visitors from all over the world, and with its thriving economy has achieved in decades what other countries have taken centuries to accomplish.

Situated halfway up the western shoreline of the Arabian Gulf and almost completely surrounded by water, Qatar is a country of fascinating contrast; an abundance of well preserved natural and historical sites, the untamed natural beauty of the desert and miles of unspoilt beaches bordering the Arabian Sea, Qatar is simply the perfect gateway to the Arabian Gulf.

At the heart of this thriving and vibrant country and built on the shores of a beautiful bay along a seven kilometre corniche lined with palm trees is the capital city and commercial and administrative centre, Doha, whose cosmopolitan spirit strikes a perfect balance with its rich cultural and religious heritage and where the traditional sits comfortably alongside the modern.

Complimenting the country’s emergence as a top flight business and tourist destination, Doha has also become a major venue on the international sporting stage, attracting a diversity of prestigious World Championship events including Tennis, Moto GP, Powerboat Racing and World Superbikes and this year, Qatar has the honour of hosting the 15th Asian Games.
