Geography

Geography

The limestone peninsula, which extends from the western side of the arabian gulf into its warm shallow waters, has a coastline well in excess of 700 kilometers, and total land area of just over 11,437 square kilometers, including its offshore islands and reefs. Not surprisingly, the country has many historical ties with the sea.

Many areas of the country lay below sea level, with the highest point approximately 120m above sea level. Salt flats or “sabkha” characterise many of the low-laying areas, where the gypsum formations known as “desert rose” can be found just below the surface.

Climate

Qatar enjoys sunshine just about everyday of the year. The average temperatures during the summer range from 3hi je8°c to 42°c during the day and 18°c at night, while winter temperatures are 34°c during the day and 10°c at night.

Swimming in the arabian gulf or in the many hotel pools, water sports, desert and city tours, shopping – a perfect location for visitors to soak up the sunshine. Once the sun sets, go star-gazing in the clear night sky, enjoy a moonlight stroll along the corniche, or view the skyline from doha bay. This clean and pristine environment offers visitors ideal conditions to completely unwind and enjoy their time in qatar poetry and song, while amazing art is created through weaving.
