Doha,
is the capital of Qatar, officially the State of Qatar, a country located in Western Asia that occupies the small Qatar Peninsula on the northeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. Whether the sovereign state should be regarded as a constitutional monarchy or an absolute monarchy is disputed.
With an area of 11,581 km2 (4,471 sq mi) and an estimated population of 2,6 million people, 2,3 million are living in Doha.
The city hasn’t stopped expanding, and it’s getting more and more tourists. In 2017, over 1,8 million foreign visitors came to Qatar, and it will not stop growing.
I had a very nice stay at the Golden Tulip hotel in Doha.
