Explore Live Cams in Qatar

Qatar (قطر) is a small, flat peninsula jutting into the Persian Gulf, covering about 4,470 square miles (11,580 km²). Most of the land is stony desert and rolling sand dunes, with salt flats, mangroves and shallow turquoise bays along the coast, and the live cam on this page follows news from Doha.

Its most famous natural landmark is Khor Al Adaid, the Inland Sea, where tall sand dunes meet a tidal inlet of the Gulf. The highest point, Qurayn Abu al Bawl, rises only about 338 feet (103 m). The national animal is the Arabian oryx, a white desert antelope with long, straight horns.

The Al Thakira mangroves shelter herons and flamingos, and one of the world's largest herds of dugongs grazes on seagrass in the shallow waters offshore. Sea turtles nest on the quiet northern beaches. The ruined pearling and trading town of Al Zubarah is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Did You Know? Each summer, more than 100 whale sharks gather off the coast of Qatar to feed on fish eggs, one of the largest gatherings of the world's biggest fish.
