Doha is the capitol of Qatar and home to more than 80% of the population of this small, wealthy nation on the Arabian Peninsula. The city hosts several museums showcasing the country's heritage and proud history, as well as traditional art. Visitors can take in the city and its seaside parks along the Corniche, a waterfront road popular with locals and foreigners alike. Because Doha contains a large number of expatriates from around the world, restaurants offering almost any type of cuisine can be found in the city. Doha is also the primary headquarters of Al-Jazeera, the influential Arab-language television network.
