QATAR - wealthiest country of the world

Only in Qatar, the wealthiest country of the world, you can see a stadium with air-condition, ice rank which functions perfectly even though the temperature is 45 degrees, and a pool for horses…

Here, you can enjoy the beautiful tunes of Vienna philharmonic orchestra, Tribeca movie festival, or see Leo Messi while walking around. This small country isn’t really different from other Arabian countries, only it’s that rich that everything in it is exclusive and luxury. It charms its visitors and leaves them breathless, because it is not going to the future; it is bravely running towards a brave new rich world. Even though it doesn’t have a rich and glorious history and tradition, Doha, the capitol of this emirate is the place to see most valuable Islamic art objects, one of the richest book collection from all over the world and expensive artworks of world renewed artists. The residents of this small country with great wealth used to live of fishing and pearl exploitation in the northern part of the country, till the moment they discovered never ending sources of oil and gas. Now they live where they want and however they want, since Qatar has enough gas to keep the whole Antarctic warm.

People usually joke when they say that a resident of Qatar with only one house, one car and one wife is a poor man. When a resident of Qatar decides to build a house, he gets all the necessary permits in one day, and half of his investments are returned to him by the government. Taxes aren’t paid here, so that is the main reason many companies come here to develop and why many foreign workers come here to earn a decent living. There is no way for a foreigner to get a Qatar passport, or to be a land owner. Still there is one way to own real estate in Qatar: government is building artificial islands on which foreigners buy luxury apartments rapidly. One of those islands is Pearl, shaped like a shell, with a pearl in the middle. It is filled with luxury shopping malls, modern skyscrapers and wealthy dreamy yachts.

The most beautiful view of Pearl comes from the hotel Hyatt hotel, in which residents of Qatar spend their weekends. This legendary hotel has the best spa center, Friday branch and a beach where all the rich people enjoy. Friday brunch is the main event of the week, for all the families. In this hotel, the most interesting thing is the luxury spa center, with golden faucets and separate entrances and treatments for men and women. There are, however, special rooms for couples in love. There is a beauty cult ruling in Qatar, so if you see a gentleman, little bit overweight, you can be sure he’s a foreigner.

There is one more huge attraction near this hotel – Velagio shopping mall, which is the perfect replica of Venice. Along Grand Canal, many famous and luxury boutiques can be seen and also fancy bakeries which serve only the most exclusive treats. On the end of this attraction, an ice skating rink is found. Interesting fact, there are plans for constructing a snow park, so the wealthy people of Qatar can enjoy showy magic, despite the high temperatures and sunny weather.

A visit to the Museum of Islamic Arts is inevitable, since it’s a place of admiration toward Persian tapestries, Turkey mosaics and precise carvings from Damask. In Doha, culture is an important part of life, so its residents and visitors have the chance to enjoy exclusive and unique cultural events.

When we speak of gastronomy, food in Qatar is delicious, since all the best chefs of the world work in Doha. Olives from Tunis, feta cheese from Greece, salmon from Scotland and dates from Babylon are just some of the things you can get here, at all times. Every meal is like a small festivity here, since you enjoy all the wealth of their kitchen, followed by top quality luxury wines.
