Having information about Qatar can help you get to know this fascinating Middle Eastern country, which boasts a rich culture and a striking landscape. The 190-km-long peninsula that juts into the Arabian Gulf contains open desert, flat plains, mangrove forests and even a few rugged little hills. It’s surrounded by glittering seas that are great for swimming, snorkelling and diving. And you can expect great weather year-round, of course.
