Qatar has a vision of an inclusive, modern society, supported by the best contemporary infrastructure and learning, developed to exacting standards of excellence, Like a jewel atop a crown, Qatar sits on top of the Arabian Peninsula - the heart of Arabia.
Surrounded on three sides by sea, it looks out towards the world; yet at its back remains the historic influence of the desert landscape.

The Qatari nation has a deep sense of purpose and sense of self, which enables its people to embrace great change while retaining their traditional values of integrity and determination. They have a shared vision of progress, development and community that is quickly driving the country to new heights.

Before the discovery of hydrocarbons, Qatar was a pearl-trading community, a commercial hub within Arabia. Those commercial skills now have a new direction and energy. Qatar is taking its place in the wider global community, and its government extends a warm welcome to partners and investors who wish to cooperate in realizing the Qatari vision.

Today, desert forts and traditional fishing villages exist side by side with prestigious state-of-the-art office towers, advanced high-tech oil and gas refineries and the powerhouse atmosphere of international commerce.
