Qatar

Qatar is a Middle East emirate located along the Persian Gulf, bordering Saudi Arabia. 

This wealthy kingdom is governed by the House of Thani and is a major regional power with considerable influence in both regional and global affairs. 

Aside from its wealth in the energy industry, Qatar has also been very successful in business and overseas investments, with the country being the largest property owner in London, among other notable achievements. It is also famous for its global media conglomerate, Al Jazeera, based in the Qatari capital city of Doha.
