Living in Qatar
The state of Qatar is located on a peninsula in the Persian Gulf. It shares its border with only Saudi Arabia, the territory from which the peninsula extends. The state is one of the wealthiest in the World, owing largely to its plentiful oil reserves. The country has been reigned by the Al Thani dynasty since 1825. Sharia law forms the basis of Qatar’s rules and regulations, and thus the culture involves rather conservative customs, such as limited alcohol consumption, restrictive dress and severe retributive punishments. Human rights are also questionable in the country. In terms of exports, 86% are comprised of oil. Qatar reserves comprise over 10% of the global supply. Foreign workers are heavily relied upon and are attracted to the country by high wages. Given the presence of Sharia law, it is unsurprising that Islam is the dominant religion, although there are minorities of Christians, Hindus and Buddhists. Culturally, religion is the most influential factor. Qatar successfully bid to host the 2022 football World Cup. The whole process has proven highly controversial however; from allegations of corruption and bribery regarding the bid, to the numerous migrant worker deaths that have occurred during the building of the nine new stadiums required for the competition. The tournament will be the first one to have been held in the Middle East and will also be the first to be held in Winter rather than Summer, due to Qatar’s extreme Summer temperatures.
