"Feel the wonder of Qatar, where endless soft-sand beaches stretch from Doha, one of the world's most dynamic capitals. In the Arabian Gulf, compact Qatar is crammed with new discoveries" Trip Advisor

Qatar is a large stretch of peninsula that juts out into the Persian Gulf, it shares one land border with Saudi Arabia, and is slightly further down the coast from Bahrain.

Qatar is the second flattest country in the world, with the highest point measuring only 338ft. That’s ok though as much of the land is sand dunes and long white sand beaches!
