Qatar, located in the Middle East, occupies the small Qatar Peninsula on the north-easterly coast of the larger Arabian Peninsula. It is bordered by Saudi Arabia to the south; otherwise the state of Qatar is surrounded by the Persian Gulf. Qatar is a country keen on its traditions, the mix of both Bedouin and Fisherman cultures provides a unique atmosphere. Over the last decade, Qatar has prospered largely due to its resources of oil and natural gas and this has led to a boost in its tourism sector. Qatar had only opened its doors to tourists in 1989, yet since that time it has developed a state-of-the-art infrastructure for travellers. Doha, the vibrant capital of this Gulf state, is a top-notch destination offering numerous facilities designed for the meeting planner’s requirements. Meetings don’t have to be constrained to the city either; a stimulating desert excursion southwest of Doha makes a perfect incentive trip. From rolling sand-dunes to unparalleled cityscapes, Qatar has the variety and appeal to make it an ideal destination for your next event.
