The port city of Doha, on

the East Coast of Qatar,
is the capital and major

commercial centre of the
country. More than 70 percent

of the population live there.
Most of the rest live in the

industrial town of Umm Said,
the oil-field region of Dukhan, and the East Coast town of
Al-Wakrah in the south and Al-Khor in the north of Doha.

Doha, the Capital between

tradition and progress where
formerly only fishing huts could be found, is now lined
by modern architecture. Nearly every day single and two
family houses are built. At present this building boom
continues. At night, thousands of lights illuminate
the whole city of Doha.

In winter months, it has a perfect climate and with more hotels
being built, Doha has the necessary infrastructure to host the
most demanding international sport and non-sports events.
