The State of Qatar juts out from the coast of Saudi Arabia into the Persian Gulf with Doha the capital city housing about 80% of the population. Being on a flat sandy plain, Qatar has few topographical features. A few hills, west and central, and some stunning sand dunes in the southeast are of interest. No perennial rivers or lakes exist in Qatar.
The climate of course is quite like other desert countries: very hot summers but somewhat more temperate winter months.
The discovery of oil around 1939 changed this country into an immensely rich nation. From depending upon fishing and pearls Qatar was catapulted into being a nation that has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world.
This fabulous piece of fortune brought great success to its current ruling elite, the Al Thani family, and indeed all the citizens of Qatar. Jobs are guaranteed, college education is free, citizens pay no income tax, health and government services are free; Qatar could be described as a complete welfare state.
This good fortune extends also to expatriates seeking jobs in Qatar. Qatar oil jobs, Qatar gas jobs and Qatar IT jobs are listed by corporations and recruiters offering jobs in Qatar. Look also at Gulf jobs and jobs in the Middle East for employment opportunities.
If attracted to employment as an expatriate in Qatar oil jobs and Qatar gas jobs you will find a community of other foreign workers already in jobs in Qatar. Doha offers many amenities; the Grand Mosque, Entertainment City and the national aquarium and museum draw many visitors.
