Qatar, officially the State of Qatar, is a country in Western Asia. The capital is Doha, home to over 80% of the nation's population. It is known as the mini version of Dubai due to its futuristic architecture. It had a population of 2,382,000 in 2018.

Doha was founded in the 1820s as an offshoot of Al Bidda. It was officially declared as the country's capital in 1971, when Qatar gained independence from being a British protectorate.

According to the Ministry of Municipality and Environment, the name "Doha" originated from the Arabic term dohat, meaning "roundness"—a reference to the rounded bays surrounding the area's coastline.
