In just forty years, this Gulf state has grown from one of the poorest countries in the Gulf to the richest in the world. Mainly functioning on oil and natural gas revenue, Qatar is developing at breakneck speed, and everything from universities to shopping malls, 5-star hotels to football stadiums (in preparation for the 2022 World Cup) are springing up along the desert floor.
Winter is the best season to visit this Gulf country, as it is then that the temperature is pleasant for sightseeing. Sandstorms prevail throughout the year and their frequency is highest during spring.
Amazing skyscrapers. Great beaches. Rich traditional values.
Very strict rules for women.
