Qatar has often found itself veiled in misconceptions and myths. It is a misunderstood nation, with its unique blend of tradition and progress. Let us discover some of the myths and facts about the country.

Qatar is just a desert — Myth

One could reasonably assume that Qatar is only a huge desert. But it has a wide variety of scenery. Sure, there are breathtaking desert landscapes, but there are also beautiful private beaches and over 600 kilometers of coastline. Do you know what an inland sea is? There aren't many around the globe, but one exists in Qatar: Khor Al Adaid, the Inland Sea, which is recognized as a UNESCO global heritage site. The country is almost surrounded by water, making it a perfect spot for a great many desert and beach activities. In addition, there is the Al Thakira mangrove forest, which is a verdant oasis and the wintering place for hundreds of flamingos that come from Siberia and Europe.
