Located halfway along the western coast of the
Arabian Gulf, the State of Qatar acts as a bridge between East and West
welcoming visitors from around the world. At the crossroads of economic,
cultural and natural heritage, the strategic location of the country has
attracted visitors to the region for thousands of years. Spend 48 hours in
Qatar and let the country's harmonious blend of Arabian culture with modern
luxury and innovation carry you away.
With sprawling dunes in the south,
sandy coastlines and islets, reefs and salt flats, the
small peninsular nation offers as much natural beauty as it does cultural
richness. With its 560-km coastline, Qatar has always been a sea-dedicated
community. From a center for fishing and pearling trades in the days gone by,
Qatar's identity has been shaped by an age-old sea oriented civilization,
hosting travelers as guests. Highlighting its authentic heritage and rich past,
while instilling pride in its future, Qatar is a center of both tradition and
innovation.
Blessed with natural resources, the
discovery of oil in the 1940s and natural gas in the 1970s gave rise to Qatar's
exponential economic growth since the days of fishing and pearling. Qatar's
huge supply of natural gas is the world's third largest gas reserves and the
largest non-associated gas field. After becoming the largest exporter of
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in the world in 2006, Qatar's exports now cover
three continents with one-third of exports going to the US, one-third to Europe
and one-third to Asia. Economic diversification in recent years in the fields
of construction and real estate investment, tourism and leisure, education and
research as well as ample government support to minimize the impact of a global
economic slowdown have resulted in the stability of Qatar's economy.
Today Qatar is leading a surge in
interest in the Arabian Gulf. Although conveniently accessible by air on most
international carriers, including the national carrier, the 5-star Qatar
Airways, the unique atmosphere of Qatar makes it feel as though you are truly
off the beaten path.
The emerging MICE destination
Reputed for quality and excellence,
Qatar is recognized as a leading destination in the Gulf region for meetings,
incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE) offering travelers a
business-oriented destination combined with leisure activities. Qatar is a
quiet place, far from bustling mass tourism, with all facilities and business
opportunities at your fingertips.
In addition to the existing and spacious
Doha Exhibitions Center, two new conference centers totaling an additional area
of 95,000 sq. m. of exhibition space are scheduled to open in Qatar. The Qatar
National Convention Centre, located in Doha's Education City, a hub for
education, science and research, is scheduled to open in 2011 and will feature
a 2,500-seat auditorium, a 500-seat theatre and a multi-purpose hall for
conferences. In addition, 40,000 sq. m. of divisible exhibition space will be
available to meet the demands of global conference and exhibition organizers.
The Doha Convention Center and Tower
in the city center is scheduled to open in 2012, providing another first class
exhibition venue for Qatar. The project's tower will reach 102 floors and
provide a new icon for Doha's skyline. Adjacent to the Tower, the Convention
Center will provide 45,000 sq. m. of showcase space.
The hospitality boom
Many of the world's top luxury
hotels are represented in Qatar. To meet forecasted demand, hotel capacity will
increase 400% to over 29,000 luxury rooms and apartments by 2012. Every five-
and four-star hotel in Qatar is equipped with world-class conference facilities
to cater to every type of meeting or conference event. The hotels' luxurious
spas, resort amenities and variety of exceptional dining experiences, steeped
in the Arabian tradition, offer a quiet and relaxing respite from the charged
activities of the day.
A busy events calendar
There has never been a better time
to visit Qatar. The calendar is packed with world-class cultural attractions,
international sporting events and exciting activities for the whole family.
Inspiring a new generation of filmmakers in the Gulf Region, the Tribeca Film
Festival comes to Doha featuring a myriad of films, many written or directed by
Middle Eastern filmmakers. The Waqif Art Center in the center of the authentic
Souq Waqif plays host to many local and regional art exhibitions. The spacious
Doha Exhibitions Center is the venue for many acclaimed regional and
international trade fairs including the popular annual Jewelry and Watches
Exhibition and the Doha Trade Fair. For sports enthusiasts, Qatar is host to
more than 100 sports events including many world championship events such as
the Sony/Ericcson WTA Championship and Qatar ExxonMobil Open Men's Championship,
the Commericalbank Qatar Masters Golf Tournament, the Moto GrandPrix and the
Speed Boat Racing World Championship.
Doha, alive with attractions
No trip to Qatar would be complete
without experiencing the country's year-round attractions. The capital city of
Doha is home to the I.M.Pei-designed Museum of Islamic Art, which boasts one of
the largest and finest collections of pieces from one of the world's great
civilizations. For those looking for a truly genuine Arabian experience, the
vast deserts of Qatar promise adventure through camel back safaris,
exhilarating rides along the dunes and wonderful nights beneath the stars.
Shoppers can delightfully get lost in the authentically preserved Arabian souqs
while discovering local treasures. Upscale shopping in the city's contemporary
shopping malls, and along the piazza in the newly opened Pearl-Qatar
development, offer a wide range of well-known luxury brands and goods in a
relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. The sprawling
ASPIRE Zone, the main venue for the
15th Asian Games in 2006, is an impressive multi-purpose facility offering both
local and international visitors access to world-class sports facilities and
activities, high-end retail shopping and luxurious green parks for relaxation
and for family enjoyment.
Education is key
Aside from the myriad of attractions
and activities, Qatar has developed a solid infrastructure for progress and
innovation, becoming known not only as a destination for travelers, but also as
a center for business, education and research. Qatar is home to Education City,
an impressive undertaking which hosts six world-class universities, all branch
campuses of prestigious international institutions. The Qatar Science and
Technology Park is a local home for technology-based companies from around the
world and an incubator for start-ups enterprises. Known as the founder of free
speech in the Middle East, Qatar is home to Al Jazeera, the first independent
Arabic news channel in the world which also has a 24/7 English news channel.
A future full of promise
Although the State of Qatar is
emerging as a global leader in industry and tourism, the country is still a
work in progress and is continually looking to the future as it expands upon
its heritage. Dohaland, a subsidiary of the Qatar Foundation, has launched the
'Heart of Doha' real estate development project aimed at reviving the Qatari,
Arab and Islamic architecture and strengthen the Islamic cultural renaissance
that Qatar is currently leading. Qatar's largest single real estate
development, Lusail, is currently underway. When completed, Lusail will cover
over 35 sq. km. of area and will accommodate up to 200,000 people. In the next
few years the New Doha International Airport will open to welcome the estimated
50 million passengers a year who will use this world-class once completed.
Always planning for the future, The State of Qatar has dedicated massive
financial resources and energy to progressive and innovative development ideas
and tools.
Whatever your interests, Qatar has
something for everyone: from business travelers looking for a break between
meetings and backpackers eager for unique desert adventures to families hoping
to relax on a luxurious beach.

Tour of Qatar 2022 preview
February has become Middle-East
month for the peloton, who from Sunday 9 to Friday 14 will take part in the
Tour of Qatar.
Now into its 13th edition, it is the
most firmly established of the Middle-Eastern races, although more have popped
up in recent years: the Tour of Oman that follows it began in 2012, and the
Dubai Tour was introduced this year to precede it.
The organisers have altered the
formula for the 2022 edition slightly. The five flat stages are interrupted by
a 10.9-kilometre individual time trial on the third day of racing, rather than
previous years’ team time trial. Spice is added to the proceedings thanks to the
vicious winds that are liable make the race difficult to control and
potentially create time gaps.
If February is the month of
Middle-Eastern races, then March is when the spring classics season begins, and
many classics specialists will be seeking to build their form in Qatar.
Included are Fabian Cancellara and four time winner Tom Boonen, who missed last
year’s race with an injury. Boonen’s Omega Pharma-QuickStep team-mate Mark
Cavendish took the honours in his absence, but Cavendish is not included this
year. Team Sky are not sending their A-team, which gives the likes of Ian
Stannard a chance to relinquish domestique duty and ride for their own personal
glory. With the first monument of the season, Milan-San-Remo, six weeks away,
now is the time to start catching the eye.
There are four British riders on the
provisional start list: Luke Rowe (Sky), Ian Stannard (Sky), Andy Fenn (Omega
Pharma-QuickStep) and Scott Thwaites (NetApp-Endura).Ones to watch
Tom BoonenEasily the rider with most
past success at the Tour of Qatar, having won 20 stages, six points
classification jerseys, and the overall four times. Though the time trial
doesn’t seems to suit his skill set, he won an 11.3k effort en route to overall
victory in 2021.
Fabian CancellaraWhat could be a
season of titanic duals between the Swiss former world time trial champion and
Boonen could begin on the roads of Qatar. If he has any form, he should win
both the time trial and the overall.
Andre GreipelFresh from his two
stage wins in the season’s first big meet at the Tour down Under, the German
has four more flat stages to potentially exert his dominance in. He’s the best
sprinter in the field, and should win a handful.
Ian StannardThe Brit’s huge frame
and big engine make him the perfect rider to combat the windy and flat
conditions in Qatar. Last year was the 26-year-old’s best to date; can he
improve again in 2?
