How's everybody doing? My name is Leroy Kenton. And this is FTD facts the channel where we give you facts about
Everything from different countries and cultures to religions to science and in this episode. We're looking at Qatar
Finally we have a dedicated video about Qatar
We're gonna go into some of the history and everything

And before I get into this video and letting you know that at the end, we're gonna be doing some fan shout out
So you want to watch the video till the end to see if you're featured at the end of this episode?
Ok, so start off with the facts
Let's begin with a little bit of background on Qatar Qatar
Which is officially known as the state of Qatar is a sovereign country located in Western Asia following Ottoman
Rule Qatar became a British protectorate in the early 20th century until gaining independence in 1971
However, Qatar has been ruled by the House of Donnie since the early 19th century
Sheikh jassim bin mohammed al thani was the founder of the state of qatar today
Qatar is a hereditary monarchy and its head of state is Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani
Now as I mentioned Qatar is a pretty small country
But when we look at the population how many people actually live in Qatar from the latest numbers in early 2017?
the population of Qatar was 2.6 million people and that ranks it at
420 second in the world based on a population by country and when we break down that number
It's three hundred and thirteen thousand Qatar citizens
And there's 2.3 temporary residents of Qatar now when we explore the total land area of Qatar
11,000 610 square kilometers that's roughly four thousand four hundred and eighty-three
Square miles Doha is a capital city of Qatar and it's also the biggest city
Doha's total population is three hundred and forty four thousand nine hundred and thirty nine people
Now when we travel to downtown Doha near the waterfront
We see tons of parts as well as the corniche a promenade on a man-made island
We also see the Museum of Islamic art that has a massive art collection from different places all across the Muslim world
over sixty percent of the residents in Qatar actually live in Doha the capital city and
The population density of Doha is pretty high like according to the latest numbers
It's two hundred and twenty one point three people per square kilometer
but when you look at the total population density of Qatar in general
Qatar is at two hundred and twenty one point three people per square kilometers
And it's population density has increased from 7.4 people per square kilometer in the year
1967 all the way to two hundred twenty one point three people per square kilometer
And it's growing at an average annual of seven point two five percent
Okay, guys
So me I grew up speaking English and to some people
I may be pronouncing the word Qatar a bit differently than you are but you see all of the different
Pronunciations of Qatar you'd say are correct
right
The word Qatar can be pronounced in several different ways and some of the common ways of pronouncing
It are could tear and then there's Qatar Qatar Qatar and Qatar
Like I mean really like when you go to different parts of the world like people pronounce it differently, but they're yes
They're all correct. Okay, and I mean people in Qatar don't seem to mind. I don't hear them really complaining about the pronunciation
So they're all acceptable ways to pronounce it
So yeah
That wasn't really like a fact fact. Just kind of like just some fun information
And also I don't want to hear in the comments section Leroy, you're pronouncing Qatar wrong. Yeah. I know sometimes my
Pronunciation sucks guys I get it. Okay. Okay. So moving on let's talk about the cities and districts in Qatar
This and districts are generally named after their geographical features for instance
Doha means roundness and reflects the rounded Bay's that categorized Qatar's coastlines
Galena means mother of Gulen and Gulen is a kind of shrub that grows in that area
and also there's um sly alley which means mother of rocks if you ever visit Qatar,
You probably noticed that their weekend system operates differently
It's not Saturday and Sunday like here in North America and other parts of the world, but actually it falls on Friday and Saturday
So you can expect stores to be closed on Friday morning in
Observance of the afternoon prayer when it comes to eating food in Qatar
So Qatar isn't the source of most of their food production actually
92 percent of its food is imported and the countries that they mainly import food from our
countries nearby like Jordan Saudi Arabia and Syria
And you know, some of Qatar's cuisine dates back to a few millennia one of Qatar's
Most popular dishes is a pretty simple dish. It's her ease made from wheat
It digs back to the 10th century and it's documented in the Arabic texts called a cooking book
There are even many claims and evidence of harvey's being a dish eaten during the time of the Prophet Muhammad in the 6th century
one thing also to know about Qatar is probably one of the most common facts though is that petrol is
Extremely cheap guys since guitar has the highest GDP per capita
In the world as well as being the biggest exporter of liquid gas in the world the country's oil and gas revenues are a huge
contributing factor to its GDP
So of course for the local people gas prices are super cheap
And I mean you can fill up a tank of gas for 50 Qatari real and currently one Qatari. Rial is worth
27 cents in US dollars another thing to note about the culture in Qatar. Is that most women from other Gulf countries?
Say that they prefer Qatari men the Qatari men are supposed to be gentle romantic and more
caring now
I just had to throw this back in here because recently the 2018 FIFA World Cup wrapped up but guess which country is hosting
the next World Cup in 2022
Yeah, Qatar
It will be the first Middle Eastern country to host the FIFA
Tournament now due to the intense heat of the summers there the World Cup won't be held in June or July as usual
But it would actually be held in November to December
Instead now their major preparations happening in the country including nine new stadiums being constructed right now
And did you know that Qatar is also the safest country in the world like there was an article in The Telegraph that?
Quoted that Qatar is the least likely as country in the world to be struck by a natural disaster
so like the most that happened in Qatar in
Recent years are aftershocks of earthquakes in neighboring countries as well as they had some sandstorms, but pretty much you go to Qatar
It's like a paradise. You don't really have to worry about anything
Okay. Now the last set of facts about guitar that I want to share with you is about the tallest building
Did you know that the tallest building in the world was gonna be in Qatar until the project got canceled. It was supposed to be
1808 Feet tower in Doha, and it was said to become one of the world's tallest buildings
But there's just one problem
It was so tall that officials worried that it would make it tough for pilots landing and taking off from the new airport
Construction was halted until Doha. The new airport was finished until the project was abruptly canceled. Anyways. Alright guys
