Qatar

Known as ‘the heart of the Arabian Gulf’, Qatar is located on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula, bordered by Saudi Arabia to the south and with Bahrain lying to its northwest.

Already a well-established pearling center in the mid-18th century, Qatar has become one of the richest Gulf states, thanks to its vast oil and gas resources. It has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world. Today, the hustle and bustle of progress is everywhere as Qatar pursues its goal of becoming a world-class business, leisure and knowledge destination. Education City, site of the new convention center, is a 14 million square meter academic and research precinct hosting satellite campuses of five of the world’s leading universities, research institutes, a science and technology park and a women’s hospital. Conference organizers will find everything they need to host highly successful and very enjoyable meetings in Qatar. In addition to the first-class hotels and facilities available, all eyes are on the completion of one of the Middle East’s largest convention venues - the Qatar National Convention Center.
