The capital of Qatar is Doha or, as the locals call it, Ad-Doura, located on the rocky eastern coast of the Qatar Peninsula. The State of Qatar is an Arab country with a rich history and reverently keeping Islamic traditions.
Located in a hot climate, where the air temperature reaches + 50 degrees Celsius, the capital of Qatar - Doha - is located in a picturesque corner of the Persian Gulf. It was founded not so long ago - in 1897. Old quarters in the usual Arabic style still attract history buffs. They are bordered by new ultra-modern buildings that fascinate with their beauty, play with mirrored windows, glow in the dark with colorful lights.
But nevertheless, the sights of the “old city” are captivated by their mystery and unusualness. The capital of Qatar was founded by the first emir Al-Thani, who chose an attractive place for her, near the beach and the eight-kilometer seaside esplanade surrounding the capital.
Doha - Qatar Business Center
Doha - the capital of Qatar, this small state, is truly the largest business center in the country. The authorities of the country understand that it is impossible to establish any kind of production here because of the harsh climatic conditions, therefore all the forces of the authorities are aimed at reconstructing the country of big business.
Doha looks like a large construction site, on which shopping and entertainment centers, offices and beautiful villas, wonderful artificial islands are erected. So is the pearl island. Businessmen, corporations, billionaires and politicians are moving their work offices here. The capital of Qatar friendly welcomes popular actors, athletes and tourists.
The tourism business in the country is developing at an accelerated pace, which reduces the risk of ruin of the state in the event of termination of oil and pearl production. The country has long ceased to make money on pearl hunters, and natural resources may end. Therefore, Qatar, including the capital of Doha, invests all funds from oil production in itself, in the development and construction of hotels, expensive villas, in the construction of cultural and business centers. Today Doha is one of the fastest growing cities in the world.
