In addition to urban buildings, there are authentic historical quarters, flowering parks where you can hide from the scorching sun, an Arab bazaar with a hundred-year history, a picturesque embankment, a four-story clinic for falcons, art galleries and collections of antiquities. And Qatar is among the top not only the richest, but also the safest countries in the world.
