Doha

Doha became the capital city of Qatar in 1971, and shortly thereafter, began growing at rapid speed. The city's population exploded from 90,000 in the 1970’s to more than 2.3 million today. Doha’s cityscape has also expanded drastically, sprawling outward into the desert and the Persian Gulf atop reclaimed land.
