Qatar is a country in Western Asia that occupies the small Qatar Peninsula on the northeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula and shares its sole land border with neighboring Gulf Cooperation Council Monarchy Saudi Arabia to the south, with the rest of its territory surrounded by the Persian Gulf. The Gulf of Bahrain, an inlet of the Persian Gulf, separates Qatar from nearby Bahrain. It is well used to receiving foreign guests, with a vibrant ex-pat community accounting for 80 percent of its population.

Qatar is officially a semi-constitutional monarchy, but the wide powers retained by the monarchy have it still bordering an absolute monarchy.

Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani is the current Emir of Qatar, who holds nearly all executive and legislative authority under the Constitution of Qatar, as well as controlling the judiciary.

Qatar will host FIFA World Cup 2022:

Despite of the controversial circumstance, Qatar has been awarded the 2022 FIFA World Cup, which will be held between November 20 and December 18, 2022, making it the first Muslim country in the Arab world to host the event. Qatar hosted the 2006 Asian Games, and will also host the 2030 Asian Games.

As it is the first world cup in the East, the first in the desert so it is expected that the number of funds that have gone into it will be huge.

Qatar is preparing to make history by hosting not only their first FIFA World Cup but the first ever to be staged in the Middle East. And the peninsula promises to produce a World Cup like no other.

For one thing, it will be the smallest nation to host the global finals, making it easier for visitors to navigate the country. It’s also planned that fans will be able to watch multiple matches on the same day. The combination of traditional Arab hospitality and winter weather conditions makes it ideal for watching and playing beautiful games, and Qatar’s World Cup promises to be one to remember.

Qatar has also spent recent years building some of the most environmentally friendly and technologically advanced sporting facilities ever seen. All of it will be on display for the rest of the world as the greatest show on earth begins in the Middle East.

The language of Qatar:

Qatar’s Geography:

• • With a land area of only 11,000 square kilometers, Qatar is the world’s 163rd-largest country, according to the United Nations. The Qatari peninsula can be traversed in just over two hours from top to bottom.
• The capital, Doha, is home to the vast majority of the country’s 2.5 million residents and is located midway up the country’s eastern coast.
• Qatar has no perennial rivers or lakes, but it does have several wadis. During the rainy season, which lasts from December to March and coincides with the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the wadis experience intermittent water flow.

The climate in Qatar:

• December’s average temperature is 20 degrees Celsius, with occasional excursions into the upper 20s.
• There is very little rain throughout the year, though on average one rainy day per month is predicted. Eight hours of sunlight per day, combined with those pleasant temperatures, make Qatar a favorite destination for tourists in the winter.

Football fans from all over will surely have the possibility to have an unforgettable time in this Gulf nation thanks to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.

Hospitality and generosity

Bedouins are known for their hospitality and customarily share their food with their visitors. This culture is still deeply embedded in Qatari society and pervades all aspects of life in the country. Providing Arabic coffee and sweets to guests is still a form of hospitality. Qatari cuisine is rich and distinct, with dishes influenced by the culinary delights of the Indian Subcontinent, Iran, the Levant, and North Africa over the years.

Beaches and resorts

Qatar has many wonderful resorts where people can relax and get away from the stresses of everyday life. Among these is the Sealine Beach Resort, which is located on one of the best coastal strips near the capital. Visitors can also spend time at the Al Ghariya Resort on the seafront, where there are many walking areas such as the Doha Corniche, a waterfront promenade that stretches for several kilometers along Doha Bay in Qatar’s capital.

Islands and water activities

Qatar is an ideal destination for water sport enthusiasts, who can enjoy fishing trips, rowing boats, water skiing, kitesurfing, paragliding, and scuba diving among shipwrecks or coral reefs due to its geographical location, rich marine life, and crystal-clear waters. Qatar also has a number of distinctive islands, including Palm Island, the man-made Pearl Island, and the Zekreet peninsula, which features picturesque beaches and natural rock formations.

Castles and historical locations

The UNESCO world heritage site Al Zubarah and its distinctive fort are only two examples of the historical locations that archaeology and antiquities enthusiasts can visit to learn about Qatar’s distant past. The Museum of Islamic Art, Katara Cultural Village, and Souq Waqif are a few more of Qatar’s most visited tourist destinations. The nation is also home to a number of historic forts that have served as military or residential facilities over the years, including the Doha Fort, Barzan Towers, and Umm Salal Fort.

Desert excursions and dune challenges

Qatar has beautiful desert and rocky terrain in addition to spectacular beaches and islands. Travelers can take camel rides, go on desert safaris, and stay in Bedouin tents while camping under the stars. They can also visit Khor Al Udayd, which is known as “the Inland Sea” because of its sand dunes, which are arranged in stunning formations. There is also Al Jassasiya, a magnificent area of rock carvings where visitors can see examples of pre-historic sculptures.

Unlike previous FIFA World Cups, which have been held in June and July, the 2022 World Cup will be held in November and December to avoid the intense heat of Qatar during the summer. As a result, the World Cup will be held in the middle of the domestic football leagues’ seasons, which begin in late July or August, including all of the major European leagues, which have been forced to incorporate extended breaks into their domestic schedules to accommodate the World Cup. Domestic leagues that typically begin their seasons in the northern spring and continue through the summer, such as Major League Soccer, will be able to fini+sh their seasons before the start of the tournament.
