Archaeologists have found some of the earliest sites in offshore islands like Merwah and Ghagha. Remains of small fishing communities have been found at the Ajman, Sharjah, Umm al Qaiwain, Jazirat Al Hamra and Islands of Dalma. Settlements in Jumeirah explains trading activity during period prior to Islamic era. With unmatched expertise in maritime activities people of emirates traveled to different parts of the world. According to Portugese writer Duart Barbarosa the people of Julfar were persons of worth, great navigators and traders. Portuguese navigators took tips from UAE navigators like Ahmed bin Majid regarding trade routes and winds of Indian ocean. Voyages of Vasco De Gama around the cape of Good hope in1498 spurred Gulf’s importance in the world trade. Rivalries in the Western World also reflected on the trade scene. When Europeans struggled for supremacy a new power grew almost unnoticed in emirates, the state of Qawasim or Qassimis whose descendants still rule the the emirate of sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah.

Additional Links Qatar Country Profile Flag of Qatar Background: Ruled by the Al Thani family since the mid-1800s, Qatar transformed itself from a poor British protectorate noted mainly for pearling into an independent state with significant oil and natural gas revenues. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Qatari economy was crippled by a continuous siphoning off of petroleum revenues by the amir who had ruled the country since 1972. He was overthrown by his son, the current Amir HAMAD bin Khalifa Al Thani, in a bloodless coup in 1995. In 2001, Qatar resolved its longstanding border disputes with both Bahrain and Saudi Arabia Oil and natural gas revenues enable Qatar to have a per capita income not far below the leading industrial countries of Western Europe.

A RTS AND L ITERATURE Q atar inherited a Bedouin culture, and its influence is still evident in Qatari society. Because they were nomads, the Bedouin developed a culture based on poetry, song and dance, rather than on buildings and fine art. A t weddings and other celebrations, folk singers, dancers and musicians perform traditional music, and storytellers recount time-honoured tales. Traditional dances are performed on Friday afternoons during the summer months in Doha. In one of the traditional dances, the ayyalah , the performers pretend to be fighting a battle. Two rows of dancers, facing each other, wave sticks or swords as they move to the beat of the drums. Each row sings challenges to the opposite side to the accompaniment of a big drum (al-ras) , three smaller drums, tambourines and copper cymbals. Ayyalah drummers use sticks of palm wood, while other types of drum are played with the hands. Q ataris produce many beautiful handcrafts, including fine jewellery. Traditional Qatari jewellery includes the al mirtaesha (a gold necklace that may cover the chest down to the waist), the

Introduction People History Culture ... Communications Legal system Organization Provinces Disputes Qatar Introduction Back to Top Qatar, independent state in the Middle East, one of the Persian Gulf States, occupying the Qatar Peninsula, jutting into the Persian Gulf from the eastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. On its southern side it is bordered by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates; these boundaries are not demarcated. Qatar has an area of about 11,437 sq km (4,416 sq mi). The capital and leading port is Doha. Official Name- State of Qatar Capital City- Doha Languages- Arabic (official) English Official Currency- Qatar Riyal Religions- Muslim, others Population- 730,000 Land Area- 11,000 sq km (4,247 sq miles) Qatar Provinces Back to Top 9 municipalities (baladiyat, singular - baladiyah); Ad Dawhah, Al Ghuwayriyah, Al Jumayliyah, Al Khawr, Al Wakrah, Ar Rayyan, Jarayan al Batinah, Madinat ash Shamal, Umm Salal Qatar People Back to Top The population of Qatar (2001 estimate) is 769,152. This figure includes a large number of migrant laborers from neighboring states. The official language is Arabic, although English is widely used in government and commerce. Most native Qataris belong to the Islamic Wahhabi sect, an orthodox branch of Sunni Muslims. The capital and leading port is Doha, with a population (1986) of 217,294. Qatar was originally settled by nomads from the central part of the Arabian Peninsula. Immigrant workers, however, now form the majority of the Qatari population, and most of the population is urban. The ethnic divisions include: 20 percent native Qatari, 25 percent other Arab, 34 percent South Asian, 16 percent Iranian, and 5 percent other. The ratio of men to women stands at approximately 2 to 1. Arabic is spoken by the majority of the population, while English is commonly used as a second language. Though most Qataris, indigenous and migrant alike, follow the dictates of the Wahhabi interpretation of Sunnite Islam, Qatar is not as strict as neighbouring Saudi Arabia. Economic necessity and the relatively small number of native Qatari workers has resulted in relative freedom for women.

The State of Qatar is a small, oil-rich peninsula projecting northward from the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula into the Arabian Gulf. With substantial oil and natural gas reserves, Qatar is one of the wealthiest states in the region and has developed high quality health care and education systems. The capital city of Doha lies on the east coast of the peninsula and features a wide mixture of modern and traditional Arabic architecture. Almost 90 percent of Qatar's population lives in Doha and its surrounding suburbs. The Wahhabi sect of Sunni Islam is the predominant religion. Photo courtesy of Tom Weeks. Only 20 percent of the nation's population is native to Qatar, as a large number of expatriates from India, Pakistan, Iran, North Africa, and various Western nations live and work in the country. Qatar's official language is Arabic, although Urdu and English are widely spoken, especially among the foreign community. Education in Qatar is free from the primary to the university level.
