Doha, Capital city in Persian Gulf, Qatar
Located on the east coast of Qatar Peninsula, Doha stretches along a curved bay with modern skyscrapers rising from the desert landscape.
The settlement began in the 1820s as an offshoot of Al Bidda, transforming from a pearling center into Qatar's capital after independence in 1971.
The Museum of Islamic Art, designed by architect I.M. Pei, presents collections spanning three continents in a waterfront structure near the Corniche.
More than 80 percent of Qatar's population lives in Doha, where temperatures reach 45°C in summer and most activities occur in air-conditioned spaces.
Education City hosts eight international university campuses across 2,500 acres, making Doha the largest education center in the Middle East.
