The capital of Qatar - Doha or, as the locals call it, Ad-Doura, is located on the rocky east coast of the Qatar Peninsula. The State of Qatar is an Arab country that has a rich history and cherishes 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 border on new ultra-modern buildings that fascinate with their beauty, play with mirrored windows, glow in the dark with colorful lights.
But still, the sights of the "old city" captivate with their mystery and unusualness. The capital of Qatar was founded by the first emir Al-Thani, who chose a fairly attractive place for it, next to the beach and the eight-kilometer seaside esplanade surrounding the capital.
Doha is the business center of Qatar
Doha - the capital of Qatar, this small state, is truly the country's largest business center. The authorities of the country understand that it is impossible to establish any kind of production here due to the severity of the climatic conditions, so all the forces of the authorities are aimed at recreating the country of big business.
Doha is like a big construction site, where shopping and entertainment centers, offices and beautiful villas, wonderful artificial islands are being erected. This is the pearl island. Businessmen, corporations, billionaires and politicians move their working offices here. The capital of Qatar welcomes popular actors, athletes and tourists in a friendly manner.
Tourist business in the country is developing at an accelerated pace, which reduces the risk of ruin of the state in the event of a cessation of oil and pearl production. The country has not been making money from pearl divers for a long time, and natural resources may run out. Therefore, Qatar, including the capital of Doha, invests all the 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.
