About Qatar
The 2022 FIFA World Cup host nation — a tiny peninsula punching above its weight with world-class museums, the futuristic Lusail City, restored Souq Waqif, and desert adventures.
Qatar is a small peninsula jutting into the Arabian Gulf, home to just 2.9 million people but wielding outsized cultural and economic influence. The 2022 FIFA World Cup put Qatar on the global tourism map, leaving behind a legacy of world-class stadiums, a new metro system, and expanded infrastructure. Doha, the capital, is where virtually all tourism activity is concentrated.
