The adage that 'small is beautiful' epitomizes the state of Qatar. Its land area comprising only 11,437 square kilometers, Qatar is nonetheless a country full of surprises and beauty. Qatar is an incredibly prosperous country, its vibrant modern economy combining with rich cultural heritage and history, making it a stimulating and intriguing place to visit and explore. Its landmass being a tiny peninsula that juts into the Arabian Gulf, Qatar is known as the 'Thumb of Arabia'. Only 160 kilometers from its northern tip to its southern border with Saudi Arabia, it lies roughly halfway up the western shores of the Gulf. Much of Qatar lies at sea level, though some points in the southwest rise to 50 meters above sea level. Qatar is centrally placed between Europe and the Far East, and thus has stopovers with all major airlines, hosting visitors, transit passengers, and airline crew en-route. Five-stars hotels, seasideresorts, and first-class amenities cater to varying tastes, needs and palates. Gastronomic fare is both deliciously traditional and delightfully international, and those with an appetite for shopping will find themselves in a veritable shopper's paradise. East truly meets west in Qatar! Mother Nature, too, provides amply in Qatar. An abundance of sun, sea and sand makes it a tourist's nirvana. Qatar is an ideal choice for those seeking pristine beaches that stretch for miles, expanses of desert and sand dunes, and intimate acquaintance with the pleasures of traditional Arab life!
