Qatar used to be very backward, and its economy was dominated by fisheries and the famous pearl mining industry in the Persian Gulf. After Japan invented artificial pearl culture in 1930s, Qatar's economy suffered a severe blow. However, the discovery of oil and gas resources has also changed the fate of Qatar.

Qatar is a small country on the Arabian Peninsula, adjacent to the Persian Gulf, and a Gulf country. It was once a part of the United Arab Emirates. When the United Arab Emirates was founded, nine countries joined, and later Qatar and Bahrain withdrew. There are now seven countries, the most famous of which are Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Qatar is rich, similar to Dubai. The Arabian Peninsula is a desert with few oases, so the population has always been small. Now relying on the oil economy, these countries are particularly rich. They desalinate the sea water and bring in a large number of foreign workers to serve them, while the natives are lazy and enjoy good welfare.

Arabs believe that oil is given to them by God, and their happy life is obtained by believing in God. They have no sense of crisis and are not worried about what to do after the oil runs out. Anyway, the Lord takes good care of them now, and he won't abandon them then. From a religious point of view, Qatar is Sunni.

Qatar has a population of more than 2.6 million, but most of them are laborers from South Asia and Southeast Asia. There are only over 300,000 real Qataris. Qatar implements completely free medical care and education, benefiting not only Qataris, but all people living in Qatar. Like many countries in the Middle East, Qatar is very short of water resources, and fresh water comes from imports and desalination.

After all, oil and gas will be mined one day, and Qatar has also made large-scale overseas investment, with a total scale of more than 350 billion US dollars. At the same time, like Dubai, Qatar has also built many super projects to promote the development of tourism.
