Qatar - Wink Travel Guide

Qatar is a rich Arab state occupying a small peninsula extending into the Persian Gulf to the north of Saudi Arabia.

Many come to the Middle East seeking the mystic, traditional life of the Bedouins, wandering the desert with their life's belongings on a camel's back.

Although tradition is still an important part of the Qatari ethos, the country has well and truly moved into the twenty-first century with the piercing glass skyscrapers of Doha, a booming trade sector and a new-found place in international diplomacy.
