Qatar Tourism

Thank you for visiting my blog.

I am Leni and I live in Qatar since 2005, in this blog I will share all about Qatar tourism.

Located on the bank of the Arabian Gulf, Doha is the Capital city of Qatar is one of the choicest destinations to visit and live. Teeming with activity, Doha for long has been known as one of the most 'grateful' pearl fishing villages in the South East Arabia of the Persian Gulf.

Qatar has developed itself from being a poor pearl fishing country, and now become one among the richest Gulf states, due to the exploitation of oil and gas fields since 1940s.
Mostly of the country is covered by sand dunes and salt flats. The City of Doha is a rich mixture of traditional Arabic combined with modern architecture. Among those that are particularly interesting, are The Grand Mosque with numerous domes and the Abu Bakir al-Siddiq Mosque. The north has quite a few historic sites, such as Umm Salal Mohammed, which is a large village conquered by the ruins of 19th century fort.
Al-Khor is the second largest city located along the natural shallow harbour. The west coast consists of fine beaches at Umm Bab (The Palm Tree Beach), Salwah, Dukhan near the Saudi border. The South regions comprises beaches and sand dunes, and offers plenty of opportunities for pearl hunting, or to practice water-sports.

Tourist Visas began to be issued only during 1989, but, though a slow start, Qatar has already begun to reap the profits of its new openness. Visitors are attracted naturally to this land of glitzy new hotels, ancient rock carvings, towering sand dunes, ancient rock carvings and unique architecture.

Qatar could be one tourism country that you can consider to visit it.
