Qatar

Qatar
 Occupying a small peninsula jutting into the Persian Gulf is Qatar, (Arabic: رطق; pronounced kut-ar) a rich Arab state to the north of Saudi Arabia, east of Bahrain and west of the United Arab Emirates.
Many come to the Middle East seeking the mystic, tra-ditional life of the Bedouins, wandering the desert with their life belongings on a camel’s back. Although tradi-tion is still an important part of the Qatari ethos, the coun-try has well-and-truly moved into the twenty-first cen-tury with the piercing glass skyscrapers of Doha, a boom-ing trade sector and a newly-found place in international diplomacy.
