The rankings were based on a variety of parameters, including international openness, business environment, health and hygiene, ground and port infrastructure, to name a few. Simultaneously, Qatar was ranked second for safety and security and third for having a supportive business environment. When one considers tourism in Qatar, especially in light of the National Vision, it becomes quickly clear that Qatar is not necessarily a tourist destination, rather it is a cultural destination. Every year, it runs a cultural exchange programme that serves as a bridge between Qatar and an international audience. Through a variety of exhibitions, festivals, competitions and events, Qatar promotes mutual understanding, recognition and appreciation between countries across the globe. Stephanie Akkaoui Hughes in her article ‘On a Cultural Safari’ (Page 31) states that every visit to Qatar, whatever its original purpose, naturally morphs into what can be called a cultural safari.

  • S'installer, Travailler, Sortir
    Qatar Guide pratique 2019 S'installer, travailler, sortir Éditions Phalente Édito Le Qatar alimente de nombreuse conversations, et pourtant peu le connaise. Il semble nécesaire d’y vivre pour comprendre qu’il ocille entre modernité et tradition. Le Sidra, l’arbre emblématique du pays, est à l’image de cette dualité : ses racines ancrées dans le sol représentent la tradition, tandis que ses branches tendues vers le ciel sont le signe de la volonté de se moderniser. En visitant le Qatar, l’observateur retrouve ce contraste, entre le Souk Wakif et le centre-ville de West Bay, d’une part, et le site d’Education City ou le futur quartier du Msheireb à Doha, d’autre part. Ce paradoxe se prolonge dans le désert avec les campements des qatariens qui re- trouvent leurs racines bédouines le temps de la saison douce. Par ail- leurs, le développement du pays se poursuit, avec pour ligne de mire la Coupe du Monde 2022. La construction de huit stades, la nouvelle ville de Lusail et les infrastructures de transport – métro et tramway - en constitueront le point d’orgue. Ce guide permet aux nouveaux arrivants de comprendre le pays. Il a pour vocation d’accompagner et d’aider à l’installation, grâce aux informations relatives aux différents aspects de la vie à Doha : les mé- decins, les écoles, le logement, mais aussi les loisirs. Pour cette raison, deux membres de Doha Accueil - association francophone membre fondateur de la Maison de la France au Qatar – ont participé à sa ré- daction, illustrant le souci de notre institution d’être au plus près des résidents, en fournissant des conseils pratiques basés sur le partage d’expérience de la vie quotidienne.
