Regions & Boundaries map data for Qatar

Regions & Boundaries map data provides a geographic breakdown of Qatar for visualisation and analysis purposes. Using GIS or mapping software, colours can be assigned to these regions to form a thematic map, also known as a choropleth map. Thematic maps are visually powerful and a simple but effective way to communicate a variable (e.g. sales figures) across a geographic area. Regions can be political/administrative, postcode or small areas often connected with a census. With seamless transitions across borders with neighbouring countries, this data product is ideal for international projects.

Further enabling geographic analysis, Regions & Boundaries for Qatar can also be supplemented with statistics such as socio-demographics, purchasing power and consumer profiles. This product is available in a number of popular GIS data formats.

Country Summary

One of the wealthiest countries in the world, the State of Qatar is situated in western Asia, on the north-eastern tip of the Arabian Peninsula. It shares its only land border with Saudi Arabia and coastline on the Persian Gulf. The capital city is Doha.
Historically Qatar has always been an important point on trading routes. It came under Bahraini and Saudi rule in the eighteenth century and then under Ottoman rule from 1871-1915, after which it became a British protectorate. Qatar became fully independent in 1971. It is now a semi-constitutional monarchy and divided into eight municipalities. The hereditary Qatari monarch retains so much power that the style of government is virtually an absolute monarchy.
Qatar has transformed from being one of the poorest of the gulf states, reliant mainly on fishing and pearl fishing and trading, to one of the world’s wealthiest. Oil was discovered in 1939 and has been responsible for the economic transformation. Qatar holds 13% of the world’s oil and gas resources. It is the world’s largest exporter of liquefied natural gas, but its high emissions of carbon dioxide are to its cost. Qatar has one of the fastest growing tourism sectors and is investing heavily in this market. It is estimated that only around 12% of the population are Qatari nationals. Most of the population live in or around Doha and the country has extremely low unemployment, and a sophisticated infrastructure.
Qatari culture is significantly influenced by Islam. Bedouin poetry, music, song and dance are important elements to its cultural heritage. Qatar has invested heavily in museums and art galleries and the country is one of the biggest investors in art by value. The influential Al Jazeera Media Network is owned by the Qatari government. Soccer is the most popular sport, enhanced further by Qatar hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Qatar now hosts other sports, including tennis, squash and cycling.
On the world stage Qatar is a member of the United Nations, the Arab League and OPEC.
