Fun Facts About Qatar
- Qatar's distinctive maroon flag color is a nod to its history as a major producer of purple-red dye sourced from sea snails, a valuable commodity in ancient times.
- There is an extreme gender imbalance in Qatar, where men significantly outnumber women about three-to-one. That's primarily due to the large, male-dominated expatriate workforce required in fields like construction and engineering which traditionally employ more men.
- Qatar has one of the world's cheapest gas prices. Thanks to the country's vast natural gas and oil reserves, it is often less than bottled water.
- Luxury hotels in Qatar offer incredibly long buffet tables. Some stretch over 100 yards with endless food options.
- Before its oil and gas wealth, Qataris made a living pearl diving without modern equipment. They could hold their breath for many minutes, diving as deep as 60 feet down into the sea.
