Q Country - Qatar


Qatar is the only 'Q' country

The A to Z categories are based on the English language and inadvertently might not include all native country names.

Just as Oman is the only "O" country, there is only one country with the name starting in the letter Q — unless you consider Kazakhstan's alternate spelling, Qazaqstan. QATAR is a small Middle Eastern country with a short name having several different pronunciations: some people say "cutter" or "ka-tar" or "qwa-ter"! It is a peninsula jutting northward into the Persian Gulf. The capital and largest city is Doha, located on the eastern coastline. Qatar only borders Saudi Arabia on the southern border and is southeast of Bahrain, an island country.
