Is Qatar also a country rich in oil resources?

Hearing the word "the richest country in Asia", many people may think of the names of Singapore, Brunei and other countries. But in fact, the richest country in Asia is actually in the Middle East, but it is not the United Arab Emirates with Dubai, but a small country smaller than Beijing, with only 1. 1.6 million square kilometers, while Beijing's area is 1.6 million square kilometers. This country is called Qatar.

Because Qatar is surrounded by the Persian Gulf, the oil and gas resources here are very rich, which also makes the people of this country rich. Once, per capita GDP ranked first in the world. Although it has declined with the decline of international oil prices, it is still one of the best in the world and the country with the highest per capita GDP in Asia. Its per capita GDP is as high as $59,000, equivalent to RMB 390,000, while that of the United States is $57,000. The US$ 37,000 in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar are more than RMB 1 10,000 higher than those in the United States and RMB 6.5438+0.4 million higher than those in the United Arab Emirates, which is enough to show the wealth of this country.

Speaking of this, the author remembered a group of pictures that exploded on the Internet. In the picture, a Qatari rich man talked about working three hours a day, sometimes even working overtime until two o'clock in the afternoon. He also said that few people in Qatar worked as hard as him, which made people envious and curious. What kind of scenery does it have in such a country?

In Doha, the capital of Qatar, there is an Arab market, which is Wazif market. Although the history of this country is not long, the market has a history of hundreds of years. Walking here, you will always be surrounded by Arab-style buildings here. Not only can you buy many authentic Qatar specialties, but you can also experience the folk customs of Qatar in detail, which is very worthy of being the first stop of tourism.

When I was feeding pigeons in the square here, I met a local and gave me a big bag of pigeon food. If I were in other countries, I would think this might be the next way to ask for money, but in Qatar, I didn't think so much, because maybe people are billionaires. So when the author really brought it over, the locals chatted with me happily and said they would give me pigeon food. I was welcome to visit Qatar often, which was very friendly.

There is also a very worthwhile place in Doha called Islamic Art Museum. The architectural style of this museum is very unique, because the whole museum itself is the masterpiece of China famous architect I.M. Pei. Coupled with the precious historical relics exhibited in the museum, it is dazzling, and the precious collection is enough to surprise you. If you are traveling in Doha, you must visit here.

Generally speaking, although this country is rich, its popularity is still lower than other countries in the Middle East, which may also be related to the lack of attention to the development of local tourism. I believe this country will become more famous after the World Cup in the future. I wonder if you want to travel here?
