Arabic Study Tour 2020: Qatar

This next upcoming year I’m switching my language. I have come to realize that Chinese isn’t the right language for me and that I would rather travel to a different country and explore a different culture. Sophomore year I would like to switch my language to Arabic and hopefully go on the study tour. On the Arabic study tours, Arabic students usually travel to Oman and Qatar. Because I don’t currently study Arabic but are looking forward to it in the future I’m going to expand my knowledge and your knowledge about Qatar. Today I will mainly talk about Qatar’s geography ad in future blogs, I will discuss other things like culture, customs, traditions, language, etc..

 Qatar is a middle eastern country, It is an independent emirate located on the west coast of the Persian Gulf. It is a small peninsula, that is mainly rocky and flat. It has lots of sand; dunes, beaches, desserts. Within Qatar, there are no permanent rivers, lakes or fresh bodies of water. Along the coast of Qatar is the capital, Doha. Doha is known for its futuristic skyscrapers and other modern architecture inspired by ancient Islamic design.

College football teams try to equip their programs with the latest and greatest upgrades, the greatest example is the University of Alabama's facilities. They house 37,000-square-feet, $9 million weight room, Tuscaloosa offers everything and more a player needs to succeed. They even have a few waterfalls in the hydrot...
