The Al Thani Family The Al Thani family’s presence in the Qatar peninsular dates from the eighteenth century when they arrived from the Gerbin oasis in the south of Nejd.

The family is named after Sheikh Thani bin Mohamed, the father of Sheikh Mohamed bin Al Thani who was first to rule the peninsula in the middle of the nineteenth century. The Al Thani family is a branch of the Arab tribe of Beni Tameem who descend from Mudhar bin Nizar.

Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifah Al Thani came to power in Qatar on the 27th of June 1995 after a pledge of allegiance and support by the ruling Al Thani family and the noble people of Qatar.

Profile of H.H. Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifah Al Thani Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani became the new Emir of the State of Qatar on June 27th 1995, continuing the rule of the Al Thani’s which had begun nearly two centuries earlier.

Sheikh Hamad was born in Doha in 1952 where he attended primary and secondary schools. He graduated in July 1971 from the British Royal Military College, Sandhurst. He then joined the Qatari Armed Forces and went through several military ranks until he was promoted to the rank of Major-General and was appointed Commander-In-Chief of

5

the Armed Forces. He oversaw an extensive program to modernize Qatar’s military, increasing manpower, creating new units, updating weaponry and improving training.

His Highness the Emir, himself a keen sportsman and accomplished diver, is the sponsor of civilian sports in Qatar. He has given a lot of support to the youth and sports sector out of his belief in the significance of the role played by this vital sector in the process of building and developing a prosperous society.

His Highness plays a very important role in putting forward and implementing many successful policies which have resulted in cooperation and friendly relations with most countries of the world. He has sponsored many conferences on a variety of subjects, taken part in numerous Arab and Gulf conferences and has paid visits to many countries.

He continues to work hard to develop the countries wealth and to achieve welfare and prosperity for the Qatari people. Throughout his relatively short term of office, the country has achieved a number of goals in the development of political, economic, social and cultural standards which enable the State of Qatar to proceed with confidence in their shared future.

Important Cities & Villages

City of Doha Doha is the capital city and is located in the middle of the eastern coast of the Qatar Peninsula. Doha constitutes an important cultural and commercial center and includes a large commercial sea port and a modern international airport connecting it with all the destinations of the world. More than half of Qatar’s population live in Doha. The focus of the semi circular shaped city is undoubtedly the Corniche, a 7 km costal path along which many of the key buildings are located, including the Emiri Diwan (Royal Palace), several ministries and three of the main hotels.

City of Mesaieed Mesaieed Industrial City is about 40 km south of Doha and was established in 1996. MIC contains a varied base of industries including crude oil, hydrocarbon products, petrochemicals, iron and steel as well as light and support industries. Mesaieed Port serves the import and export needs of various products 24 hours a day.

City of Ras Laffan Ras Laffan is the most recent industrial city in Qatar. It is approximately 80 km north of Doha and covers an area of 106 square km. About 6500 officials and workers are employed there, making it one of the largest industrial cities in the world.

6

Al Khor Al Khor is a small costal town 57 km north of Doha. It is best known as a fishing town and for its ancient mosques and wind towers. It also has a regional museum which exhibits the antique and historical artifacts of Al Khor.

Al Wakrah Al Wakrah is a small town located halfway between Doha and Mesaieed. It has an old fishing port which is still in use today and is famous for its fine mosques and many houses which reflect the old Islamic architectural style. There is also a museum displaying among other things traditional Arabic style doors.

Dukhan Dukhan is located on the western coast of the State of Qatar. It has gained special attention since the discovery of oil in the surrounding fields. The city is characterized by its fascinating seashore. The city is about 84 km away from Doha.

Madinat Al Shamal Madinat Al Shamal is located on the coast in the far west of the country and functions as an administrative center for a number of costal villages.

Al Zubarah Al Zubarah is situated 100 km west of Doha. It is an important archeological site famous for its old fort. This fort turned museum was constructed in 1938 on the ruins of a neighboring fort.

Qatar throughout History

Ancient Times The first signs of human habitation in the Qatar peninsula date from 4000 BC. Archaeological expeditions from Denmark (1965), Britain (1973) and France (1976) found rock carvings and groups of pottery that indicate a human presence at that time. Some historical texts claim that the first inhabitants of Qatar were the ancient Canaanites, a people well known for their trade and navigation skills.

The strategic location of Qatar in the Arabian Peninsula was one of the main reasons for its commercial prosperity. The seasonal migration of Arab tribes caused many fishing villages like Al Bida- Al Khor, Al Wakra and Al Zubarah to appear and to flourish by encouraging pearl trading.

According to historical documents, Qatar became renowned for the skill of its people in weaving and cloth making as well as for the quality of its horses and camels. Some historians considered it to be part of the region known as Bahrain, which stretched from Basra in Iraq to Oman. Qatar thrived in the Abbasid period and had excellent relations

7

with the Caliphs in Baghdad. Abbasid artifacts have been found in Marroub Fort in western Qatar.

Qatar in Islamic History In the 7th Century A.D., as the new religion of Islam spread out across the Arabian Gulf, Qatar came under the rule of the Islamic dynasties of the Umayyads based in Damascus and the Abbasids from Baghdad.

Qatar had a strong presence in Arab and Islamic arts and culture, and poets often referred to the country in their compositions.

Arab historians and observers also attribute special importance to the poet and knight of Qatar, Qatari bin Al Fuj’a.

Arab and Islamic history resources mention the sailing skills of the Qatari people and their role in equipping the first navy for the Islamic Army, under the command of Abi Alaa Al Hadrami. The Qataris were also renowned spear-makers.

The Arab geographer, Yaqout Al Hamawi, in his work “Mojam Al Buldan” mentions the flair Qataris had for tailoring garments and dresses. Clothing made in Qatar was very popular and it has been mentioned that the prophet Mohammed (Peace Be Upon Him) and Aisha, (wife of Mohammed and known as ‘Mother of Faithful Believers’), both dressed in Qatari garments.

During the Abbasid era, in the 8th Century Hijri (14th Century A.D.), Qatar witnessed a period of economic prosperity and it was able to provide the Caliphs (or Khalifah) in Baghdad with considerable wealth. This is mentioned in documents originating from Marroub Fort, which itself displays a typical Abbasid architectural style.

In the 10th Century Hijri (16th Century A.D.), the Qataris and Turkish entered into alliance to successfully expel the Portuguese. For four centuries Qatar, like other areas in the Gulf, was under Ottoman influence. This remained the case until 1871. However, Ottoman sovereignty in the area was largely symbolic and the real power remained in the hands of the chiefs and princes of local Arab tribes.

In 1893 a famous battle took place at Al Wajbah Fort, in which the Qatari people, led by the then ruler Sheikh Qassim bin Mohammed Al Thani, defeated the Ottoman force.

Qatar in the 20th Century Until the early 20th Century, Qatar maintained relations with the Islamic Khalifah state and acknowledged its nominal sovereignty over it, despite the fact that the Ottoman influence in the Gulf and Arabian Peninsula was on the wane. In 1867 the seeds of independence were sown after Britain signed a treaty with Qatar, under the leadership of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Thani, which no longer regarded the territory as a dependency of neighboring Bahrain.

8

Britain subsequently signed another treaty with Qatar in 1916, which was attested on 23rd March 1918 after Sheikh Abdullah Bin Jassim Al Thani signed the translated version. Under the treaty, Britain controlled Qatar's external affairs in return for guaranteeing its protection.

When competition for oil concessions in the region intensified, Britain made more specific promises of protection. In 1935 the previous treaty was amended and ‘suspended provisions’ in the 1916 treaty pertaining to British political representation in Qatar were revoked. A post office, airport and other installations were established.

Oil exploration took place over a 14 year period from 1935 – 1949. Although oil was first discovered in Dukhan in 1939, further exploration was halted for 4 years (1942 – 1946) due to the outbreak of World War II. Oil was finally exported in 1949, when the first tanker set sail with Qatari oil destined for international markets in December that year.

Before the discovery of oil the people of Qatar were subjected to a decade of harsh economic conditions (1939 – 1949). In addition to the adverse effects of World War II, Qatar also suffered from a decline in the diving and pearl markets. Food and basic commodities were both expensive and scarce.

Since the 1960’s Qatar has contributed to the international arena, becoming a member of both UNESCO & WHO and, in 1971, Qatar became an independent state.

Following the British decision to withdraw from the region in 1968, a decree was issued in 1969 (Law No. 11) concerning the establishment of a foreign affairs department. This subsequently became the core of the current Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
