Qatar’s workday begins before the sun sets in the Far East, and ends after the sun has risen over the West. The country of 1.7 million is at the cusp of the world not just geographically, but also culturally and economically. Qatar has grown into an international petrochemical powerhouse, hub of sport and culture and key center of business in the region.

It boasts the world’s highest per capita income of over US$ 102,000 and a standard of living at par with the best. Qatar’s abundant opportunities and vibrant lifestyle have attracted talent from all over the globe and Doha, its capital, is a melting pot of peoples, cuisines and tongues.

Home to the prolific Al Jazeera news network and Qatar Airways, the world’s finest airline, the nation wields a global influence far beyond its size.
