Qatar

Qatar is the prince in waiting if ever Dubai slips off the throne. Like its more famous neighbours, Qatar joined the skyscraper boom in the region and turned its capital, Doha, into a modern hub for global business. Tax-free salaries for teachers are stronger than those offered by neighbouring provinces and with a similar standard of living, Qatar is increasingly being seen as a viable alternative to Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The award of the 2022 World Cup to Qatar - the first Arab country to have this - proves how the emirate has developed into the most exciting of the seven emirates.
