    21 June 2021 EMBASSY OF INDIA DOHA PRESS RELEASE 7TH INTERNATIONAL DAY OF YOGA CELEBRATIONS IN QATAR The Embassy of India, Doha, in coordination with Indian Sports Centre, Qatar celebrated the 7th International Day of Yoga on 21 June 2021. Yoga sessions led by expert yoga practitioners were held at six different locations across Qatar - Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) Park, Al Khor town (in front of Al Bayt Stadium – the venue of FIFA 2022 World Cup), Mesaieed (on sand dunes), Asian Town, Al Wakrah, & Dukhan (Dukhan Beach). Yoga in the the backdrop of geographical diversity of Qatar ranging from beaches of Dukhan to sand dunes of Mesaieed, made the event more picturesque. (Photos attached) The event was held in hybrid format, with limited gatherings at each location as per prevailing Covid guidelines. Many more participated in the celebrations virtually. Ambassador took part in the event at MIA. In his opening remarks, he appreciated participants’ interest in yoga. He highlighted that yoga has the potential to improve physical and mental well being provide good health and happiness to all, more so given the impact of the global Covid-19 pandemic. The theme for this year’s International Day of Yoga is “Yoga for Wellness”. In the run- up to IDY 2021, a few events were held, viz, online Yoga Challenge for below 13 year old on 11-12 June, 2021 & online Yoga Challenge for adults on 18-19 June, 2021.

  • Cool Waterfronts and Coastal Cities: How Qatar’S Peninsula Develops a Resilient Future?
    Alraouf, Ali & Al Nuaimi, Mubarak Cool Waterfronts in Qatar 54th ISOCARP Congress 2018 Cool Waterfronts and Coastal Cities: How Qatar’s Peninsula Develops a Resilient Future? Ali A. Alraouf, Ph.D. Mubarak Al Nuaimi, BSc., MA. Eng. Prof. of Architecture and Urbanism Advisor of Urban Planning Affairs Head of CB, Training & Development at Head of Central Doha Project QNMP - MME QNMP - MME Doha, Qatar Doha, Qatar [email protected] [email protected] Abstract The coast is one of the most complex systems on earth as it is the result of the continuous interaction between people, land and water. These physical processes shape the geomorphology of the coast, which sustains specific ecosystems that provide crucial services to human societies to flourish. This paper aims at expanding the understanding on the functioning of the waterfronts, which are crucial factor to increase the awareness regarding the challenges of developing and governing coastal areas and waterfronts. Evidently, climate change represents the major human-induced source of natural risks. Understanding the risks associated to the coast is crucial to provide safe and resilient human environment. Planners must address the challenges of waterfronts and coastal areas’ planning approaches. Coastal cities are facing the challenge not only by providing high quality services for its inhabitants but also to integrate specific coastal and waterfront uses that demand a large quantity of space and requires highly specialized services. Ports, dwellings, beaches, promenades, protectorates, industry, logistics, resorts, restaurants, are just few of the uses that characterized most coastal cities and waterfronts and need to be integrated into the urban fabric and smartly diminish the consequences of climate change.

  • Geotechnical Study of the Rocks in Qatar and Construction Techniques
    The American University in Cairo The School of Sciences and Engineering Engineering Characteristics of Rocks in Qatar; Applications on Excavation and Tunneling A thesis submitted to The Department of Construction Engineering In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Construction Engineering By Ahmed Fawzy Kassem Under the Supervision of Prof. Safwan Khedr Professor of Construction Engineering, AUC Dr. Nasser A. Alnuaimi Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering, Qatar University Spring 2016 Abstract Excavation as well as tunneling have become fundamental operations in the advanced civil engineering field. In Qatar, many subsurface construction operations take place in rocks. However, the lack of studies and research that analyze the subsurface rock components from a geotechnical engineering perspective has created unexpected construction conditions. Most of similar studies handled concerns about properties related to oil and gas fields. This research aims to provide a geotechnical study for rocks in Qatar, and to illustrate the impact of the existence of these rock layers on two civil applications; namely excavation and tunneling. During this study, soil investigation reports and rock samples are collected from several bores located in Qatar, and a classification system is utilized to classify the rock samples to identify and study the properties of the existed rocks. Also, numerous production rates from different tunneling and excavation projects are recorded and analyzed, in order to clarify the relation between these rates and the classified rock layers. Based on this analysis, a geotechnical study and mapping system for the rocks in Qatar are presented. Reliable tools for predicting the average productivities of excavation and tunneling projects in Qatar are developed, these tools are aiming to facilitate designing, bidding and executing processes involved with these types of rocks.

    Qatar Industrial Landscape 2.0: Resilient and Stronger Contents Foreword 2 Qatar Industrial Landscape 1.0 3 Blockade: A Blessing in Disguise 7 Outlook: Qatar Industrial Landscape 2.0 12 Qatar 2.0- Resilient and Stronger | 1 Foreword Venkat Krishnaswamy Partner, Head of Advisory at KPMG Qatar The discovery of oil in the 1940’s started Qatar’s“ industrial growth and economic development. At the turn of the 21st century, Qatar witnessed exponential growth and diversification supported by development of industrial and port infrastructure and increased focus on exports. Government’s swift responses to the regional blockade underpinned Qatar’s economic resilience which ensured stability in industrial sector exports, both in the oil and gas and non-oil, non-gas segments. A blessing in disguise, the blockade led to rapid development in Qatar’s agro- and food-based industries driven by initiatives by the government and the private sector. After mitigating the immediate impact of the blockade, the government developed the manufacturing sector strategy, comprising nine strategic enablers which are expected to help Qatar build on its resilience and emerge stronger. The ending of blockade and a multi-sector development pipeline augurs well for Qatar’s industrial sector. ” Qatar 2.0- Resilient and Stronger | 2 Qatar Industrial Landscape 1.0 The discovery of oil in the 1940’s jump started Qatar’s industrial growth and economic development In the early 20th century, Qatar’s economy was heavily reliant on fishing and pearl diving. It transformed significantly with the discovery of oil in 1940. This drove industrial development, with the opening of Mesaieed Industrial City and Mesaieed Port in 1949.
