Demographics The capital city, and one of only a handful of cities in the whole country is Doha, or Dawha. The demographics demonstrate the large discrepancy between the local Qatari population to the foreign expatriot population. The GPD (information as of 2010) is one of the highest in the world. This is due to the very large reserve of natural gas that Qatar has tapped into located off of it’s coast.
