Qatar Occupys a small desert peninsula that extends northward from the larger Arabian Peninsula. The population of Qatar is 3,210,000, the capital Qatar which was once a centre for pearling and is home to most of the country’s inhabitants. Radiating inland from its handsome Corniche, or seaside boulevard, Doha blends premodern architecture with new office buildings, shopping malls, and dapartment complexes

Qatar’s traditions draw on a nomadic past and practices that are centuries old, from hand-woven products to falconry. However, the country’s population is urban and coastal, its daily life is thoroughly modern.
