Doha is the capital city of Qatar, located on the coast of the Persian Gulf in the east of the country. It is Qatar's largest city, with a population that embodies a rich blend of cultural influences, showcased in its diverse cuisine, architecture, and festivals. The city has transformed itself from a modest fishing and pearling site into an international hub of finance and travel, being especially recognized for its futuristic skyscrapers and ultramodern architecture inspired by ancient Islamic designs. Doha's skyline is dominated by the Al-Corniche, a waterfront promenade lined with opulent hotels, parks, and the striking Museum of Islamic Art. The souqs, especially Souq Waqif, offer traditional shopping experiences where one can buy spices, textiles, and ornaments. Another attraction is The Pearl-Qatar, an artificial island boasting luxury living. Diverse initiatives like Education City and the Qatar National Vision 2030 reflect Doha's commitment to becoming a leading center for education and research in the region.
