Qatar

It is just that Qatar has successfully amalgamated modernity into its way of life. Qatar is situated on the northeastern coast of the bigger Arabian Peninsula and covers a total area of 11,437 km2. Though the area might be small, but in it is one of the most necessary treasures to the humans today, crude oil, also called as the Black Gold. This has brought Qatar among the countries with the highest per capita income. This Arab country is bordered by Saudi Arabia in south and the rest by Persian Gulf. Interior of Qatar is mainly plain land covered with sand. This gives the tourists chance to indulge in the famous desert safari and camping. Hire a 4 wheel drive and take it for a spin in the deserts. Thanks to shifting sands of Qatar deserts, you will not drive on the same path twice.
