Country quick facts

Qatar hosted the FIFA World Cup in December 2022, becoming the first Arab nation ever to do so.

Although much of Qatar is desert terrain, the country has invested heavily in sustainability and urban greening, including reclaimed land and coastal developments around Doha.

Football remains one of the most popular sports in Qatar, but residents and visitors also enjoy athletics, horse racing, falconry, and other sporting events throughout the year.

Qatar has one of the highest GDP per capita levels in the world, driven by its vast natural gas and oil reserves, making it one of the richest nations globally.

A traditional favorite dish is Machbous (also spelled majboos), a spiced rice meal cooked with meat or seafood that reflects Qatar’s Gulf-Arab culinary heritage.

The weekend in Qatar falls on Friday and Saturday, with most businesses closed or operating limited hours on Friday mornings for the midday prayer.

Approximately 88% of Qatar’s population are foreign residents, with only about 12% being Qatari citizens.
