  • The Case of Doha, Qatar
    Mapping the Growth of an Arabian Gulf Town: the case of Doha, Qatar Part I. The Growth of Doha: Historical and Demographic Framework Introduction In this paper we use GIS to anatomize Doha, from the 1820s to the late 1950s, as a case study of an Arab town, an Islamic town, and a historic Arabian Gulf town. We use the first two terms advisedly, drawing attention to the contrast between the ubiquitous use of these terms versus the almost complete lack of detailed studies of such towns outside North Africa and Syria which might enable a viable definition to be formulated in terms of architecture, layout and spatial syntax. In this paper we intend to begin to provide such data. We do not seek to deny the existence of similarities and structuring principles that cross-cut THE towns and cities of the Arab and Islamic world, but rather to test the concepts, widen the dataset and extend the geographical range of such urban studies, thereby improving our understanding of them. Doha was founded as a pearl fishing town in the early 19th century, flourished during a boom in pearling revenues in the late 19th and early 20th century, and, after a period of economic decline following the collapse of the pearling industry in the 1920s, rapidly expanded and modernized in response to an influx of oil revenues beginning in 1950 (Othman, 1984; Graham, 1978: 255).1 As such it typifies the experience of nearly all Gulf towns, the vast majority of which were also founded in the 18th or early 19th century as pearl fishing settlements, and which experienced the same trajectory of growth, decline and oil-fuelled expansion (Carter 2012: 115-124, 161-169, 275-277).2 Doha is the subject of a multidisciplinary study (The Origins of Doha and Qatar Project), and this paper comprises the first output of this work, which was made possible by NPRP grant no.

According to a forecaster, weather condi- tions here are largely dependent on wind direction. If the wind blows from the south- ern regions, the mercury rises two to three degrees Celsius, as is happening now. The wind today is blowing from the southeast. However, when the wind changes direction and is north-westerly, it brings along chill and the temperature drops, said the forecaster. “The winter isn’t over yet.” The maximum temperature these days is between 25 and 29 degrees Celsius, depend- ing on the area in the country, while the minimum ranges between 13 and 17 degrees Celsius. In Doha, the maximum today is fore- cast at 27 degrees, and the minimum at 17 degrees. Abu Samra, located near Qatar’s border with Saudi Arabia, and which recently wit- nessed the coldest days and nights during the last chilly spell, will have a maximum temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a low of 13 degrees today, the forecast said. Al Khor in the north, on the other hand, is expected to have day temperatures run- ning up to 26 degrees Celsius today, while at night the mercury will drop to 14 degrees. The forecast for Al Wakra is a noon tem- perature of 25 degrees Celsius and a mini- mum of 15 degrees.

  • Stratigraphy, Micropaleontology, and Paleoecology of the Miocene Dam Formation, Qatar
    GeoArabia, Vol. 7, No. 1, 2002 Gulf PetroLink, Bahrain Miocene Dam Formation, Qatar Stratigraphy, micropaleontology, and paleoecology of the Miocene Dam Formation, Qatar Hamad Al-Saad and Mohamed I. Ibrahim University of Qatar ABSTRACT The Miocene carbonate Dam Formation is well exposed in the Jebel Al-Nakhash area of southern Qatar. Three sections were measured in a detailed investigation of the Formation’s stratigraphy, micropaleontology, and paleoecology. This biostratigraphic and paleoecologic study was supported by the analysis of microlithofacies and foraminiferal assemblages. Microfossils are predominantly benthic foraminifera represented by 38 species, many of which are milioline and one is a larger form. A Borelis melo melo Local Range Zone of Early Miocene (Burdigalian) age was recognized. The nature and distribution of the benthic foraminiferal assemblage, in association with lithofacies evidence, indicated a general shoaling-upward trend. The Dam Formation was stratigraphically subdivided into two new formal members. The basal Al-Kharrara Member is made up of limestone, marl, and claystone, and the overlying Al-Nakhash Member is a cyclic assemblage of carbonate, evaporite, and algal stromatolite facies. The lithofacies are grouped into four major types of which limestone, subdivided into six subfacies, is dominant. The Al-Kharrara was interpreted as having been deposited in warm (25°–30°C), clear, shallow waters of the inner neritic zone (0–35 m) that had an elevated salinity (35‰–50‰) and a vegetated substrate. The Al-Nakhash probably formed in an oscillating, very shallow-marine environment (0–10 m deep, including tidal flats), under warm climatic conditions that eventually led to the accumulation of evaporites and algal stromatolites.

In the face of rapid urban development, population growth, and socio-cultural changes, most historic districts in the Gulf are experiencing difficulties in making the necessary adaptation and adjustments to the present needs and changes. On the one hand, most of these districts are suffering from decay and dilapidation. On the other hand, many of them are being erased and replaced by new business districts. Consequently, historic districts are being neglected and are losing their identity. Doha, the capital of the state of Qatar, is experiencing a rapid growth in its economy and population, resulting in the transformation of its built environment. This transformation is characterized by multiple construction projects and the abandonment of old historic neighborhoods. The aim of this thesis is to examine the impact of this rapid urban development on the socio-cultural spaces in Doha‟s historic neighborhoods, focusing on „Fareej Old Al- Hitmi‟.

Darwish); Tel. +974 44545887; email: [email protected] (A. Hassan) Received 17 April 2017; Accepted 19 July 2017 abstract Qatar is an arid land with very scarce natural freshwater resources. Its groundwater resources are lim- ited and are being heavily depleted by inefficient irrigation methods and the growing population. As a result, Qatar relies primarily on desalination of seawater. Accurate assessment of water resources, consumption levels and virtual water trade is the first step in formulating an effective water resources management policy. This paper, hence, reviews the renewable and non-renewable water resources and the disaggregated consumption trends as well virtual water trade in Qatar. The total groundwater pro- duced internally is 56 Mm3/year and its consumption rate is 250 Mm3/year which is mainly dominated by farms. The agricultural sector consumes 91% of all renewable water resources in Qatar. The total desalination capacity is 1.4 Mm3/d which is primarily from thermal desalination plants.
