Qatar Travel OverviewQatar is a small peninsula in the Persian Gulf. It looks like a big thumb 'way up'. The country is small but offers quite a few interesting things to the visitors. Doha; the capital is a nice town with good beaches nearby and lively markets. Khor Al Udeid; or the Inland Sea; in the extreme south-east of the country is of great natural beauty. This is a large area of natural sand dunes; surrounding a calm inlet of the Gulf. The dunes are quite stunning - tall; shapely sand masses formed by the prevailing winds and subject to radical overnight changes of shape. There are several forts worth visiting in Qatar; giving a glimpse into the past history of the country. Popular Destinations |
