Doha - Doha (English spelling)

The capital of Qatar. It is a port city located on the east coast of the Qatari Peninsula in the northeast of the Arabian Peninsula, facing the Arabian Gulf (Persian Gulf). With a population of 264,009 (1997 census) and 308,800 (2002 estimate), it is where most of the country's population is concentrated. Since the oil development boom, many foreign workers have flowed in from neighboring countries. In place of the traditional pearl-fishing, fishing, and metalworking industries, in recent years the city has become more important as a commercial and trading city. In addition to agriculture and fishing using modern management methods, the city is also focusing on industrialization in areas such as steelmaking, chemical fertilizers, natural gas, and petrochemicals.

カタールの首都。アラビア半島北東部、カタール半島東岸に位置し、アラビア湾(ペルシア湾)に面する港湾都市である。人口26万4009(1997センサス)、30万8800(2002推計)で、同国の人口の大部分が集中している。石油開発ブーム以降、近隣諸国から多くの外国人労働者が流入した。伝統的な真珠採集、漁業、金属細工業にかわり、近年は商業・貿易都市としての比重が高まった。また、近代的経営方式による農・漁業のほか製鉄、化学肥料、天然ガス、石油化学などの工業化にも力を入れている。
