Qatar's Population


Jutting out into the Persian Gulf from Saudi Arabia, QATAR has a population of over 1,800,000. While that number seems high for a tiny country like Qatar, its population density is only 67 per sq. km and 173 per sq. mi. The population is expected to grow about 44% from the year 2005 to 2050. A large percentage, 92%, live in urban settings.

By the way, Nasser Al-Attiya, who competed in archery at the London 2012 Olympics, won a bronze medal for the Qatar team.
