22. QATAR INFO - Culture qatar or living here affords an excellent opportunity to expatriates to expand theircultural horizons by discovering and learning more about this culture . http://www.qatar-info.com/general/culture.htm

Volumes could be written about traditional Arab culture, as practised in the Gulf region (and, indeed, have been); we, however, are only able to give a glimpse of the major features. Hospitality is a major feature of Arab culture and society. Guests must always be made welcome and be offered refreshment as a matter of course. Thus, you are likely to be offered Arabic or cardamon coffee or a small cup of tea upon arrival at a Qatari host, be it in his home or office. This drink is traditionally served in a very small cup. It is rude to refuse, but not necessary to indulge in more than one cup, if you don't like the taste. During the season, or at night during Ramadhan, you may also be offered fresh dates, which are wonderful. Most Qataris receive guests at home in a majlis, or reception area. In a tradition, dating back to bedoiun customs, guests are often seated at floor level on large cushions. Nowadays, sofas may be more normal, but do not be surprised if you come across the former arrangement. Like many social events, majlis receptions are nearly always single sex (male on the whole) and women are not present. This leads on to a cultural norm that is often striking for the Western visitor. The majority of socialising in the Gulf is practised among men or women; rarely both at the same time. This separation of the sexes extends to all sorts of areas, including places of prayer, government offices (for example, immigration, fingerprinting, medical checks etc., lifts in public places) and even shops. It is simply not the norm for men and women to mix in society. Whatever you may think of this custom, it is widespread, highly traditional and unlikely to change in the foreseeable future. If you are invited into a Qatari home, unless specifically requested to do so, do not therefore take your wife. She may be invited separately by the women of the house, and will spend time with them in separate quarters, but to appear with a woman in a male majlis causes embarrassment on both sides.

Whilst the development of the cultured pearls industry led to a sharp decline in the market of natural pearls though fishing continues to be the livelihood for some and sports for others. Rod and line fishing from shore and from a boat is quite popular amongst the expatriates, locals still use the nets, traps and the basic handlines. For fishing from the shore, Qataris use different techniques: the throw-nets are often used to cover small areas teeming with fish.; long nets are staked out in the shallow and both nets and stones were used to make inter tidal traps close to the shore. Often from the beaches you will see dark lines of stone ‘Maskar’ . The long low limestone block walls and narrow twisted entrance channel allows the fish to swim in at high tide, but leaves them stranded as the water recedes at low tide. Amongst the other traditional traps are the

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.

For Middle East, North Africa, Arab and regional information visit Arab Countries Qatar History The area occupied by Qatar has been settled since the Stone Age. After the rise of Islam in the 7th cent. A.D. it became part of the Arab caliphate, and later of the Ottoman Empire. In the late 18th cent. it became subject to Wahhabis from the region of present-day Saudi Arabia; they were later supplanted by the Al Thani dynasty. During the Turkish occupation from 1871 to 1913, senior members of the Al Thani family were named deputy governors; subsequently, Qatar became a British protectorate, with Abdullah bin Jassim al-Thani recognized as sheikh. In 1971, Qatar became independent of Great Britain. In 1972 the reigning sheikh, Ahmad ibn Ali al-Thani, was deposed by his cousin Khalifa ibn Hamad al-Thani. He in turn was deposed in June, 1995, by his son and heir, Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, who as crown prince was credited with having launched a major industrial modernization program. In 1981, Qatar joined neighbouring countries in the formation of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to strengthen economic relations among the participating nations. The country’s stability was threatened by the Iran-Iraq War throughout the 1980s. Territorial disputes with Bahrain over the Hawar Islands and gas fields in the separating sea erupted in 1986. During the Gulf War (1991), international coalition forces were deployed on Qatari soil. Palestinians were expelled from Qatar in retaliation for the pro-Iraqi stance of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), but since the war relations with the Palestinians have returned to normal. After the Gulf War, Iraq was still regarded as a threat to Qatar’s oil interests; Qatar signed a defense pact with the United States but also restored relations with Iraq.

Indie Rock Daily Features Reviews Archives ... Masthead A Layman's Guide To WWIII: The Persian Gulf By Kevin Filan Qatar Bahrain Kuwait Oman Qatar ... Yemen For most of recorded history, the residents of Qatar eked out a meager living from the pearl beds along their coastline, mainly in the northern town of Zubara. There was little else to recommend Qatar; most of the land in this peninsular region was dry, gravelly desert which was not only unsuited for agriculture but which could barely support any vegetation at all. Even by the standards of the pre-oil Gulf the region was shockingly poor especially when the introduction of cultured pearls devastated the pearling industry. But just when things looked hopeless, Qatar discovered that it sat atop vast reserves of oil and natural gas. Today Qatar is still struggling to come to terms with that newfound prosperity, and with various border disputes between its neighbors. Qatar does not have an elected government, and rights of assembly and protest are restricted. In 1998 the Education Minister, Abdulrahman Al-Nuaimi, distributed a letter criticizing Qatari Emir Sheikh Hamad Bin Khaleifa al-Thani for his decision to allow women to vote and hold office in the (advisory) municipal council. Al-Nuaimi was arrested and at last report remains in detention. hybridmagazine.com is updated daily except when it isn't.

This is mostly due to the fact that Qatar is an old country with its beginnings rooted right back to before the birth of Christ. Reading up on People Qataris are mostly of Arab descent; the arabs first came to the Arabian peninsula in the the 18th century and settled there. Most of Qatari culture is reflected by its proximity to the other neighbouring Gulf states. However only 25% of the Qatar population are actually Qatari. Qatar today is mostly dominated by foreigners who have come to Qatar from other countries. Pakistanis for example are found in large numbers in Qatar. Most of the population is found in the capital city, Doha; other smaller towns like Wakrah, Dukhan, Umm Said, Al-Khor and Madinat Shamal have lesser population however. Religion Most Qataris are muslim and Islam is the national religion. However Qatar isn't as strict as Saudi Arabia where liquor etc is prohibited to non muslims. Qatar allows non muslims to eat and drink as they please and practice their religion without any restrictions.

iWon Travel Middle East Qatar Powered by HISTORY and CULTURE History Culture History Archaeological digs have shown that the Qatar peninsula was inhabited during the Stone Age, when the region's climate was milder than it is today. But the archaeologists have found little evidence of habitation between the most ancient of times and the modern era, and Qatar is the only significant place in the Gulf to have no Portuguese ruins of any sort. Since the Portuguese conquered, or at least attacked, just about everywhere else in the Gulf, this strongly implies that 16th century Qatar was either uninhabited or very nearly so. Even before the collapse of the pearl market around 1930, life in Qatar was rough. With poverty, hunger and disease all widespread, the emir welcomed oil prospectors who first arrived in the early 1930s. A concession was granted in 1935 and the prospectors struck oil in 1939. Because of WWII, however, production did not begin for another 10 years. At that point things began to move very quickly. The quantity of oil produced in Qatar was not huge, but the country's tiny population had plenty of cash to go around. Much of the early revenue went to modernising the country: the first school opened in 1952 and health care facilities were upgraded. The injection of funds did wonders for the emirs' lifestyle, and from the mid-1950s, successive emirs took less and less interest in government and more and more interest in falconry, jet-setting and fancy cars. Despite this, the amount of wealth, more or less evenly distributed, blunted the political interests of most Qataris, and there were few calls for democracy or an end to the monarchy.
