“…fewer than 250,000 native Qataris who make up the country's

population -- grandchildren of pearl fishermen -- are now the world's

richest people, with an average annual income of about $100,000.

They are also the world's most brazen investors -- in property, art,

television, sports, mining, and banking.” (CNN Money)

Population: Approximately 2 Million People (1.5 million males)

Qatari Nationals are less than 15% of the population – 250,000

Most of the population are non-Qatari & prevelantly male laborers

(Indian, Nepali, Sri Lankan, Filipino and Sudanese)

From birth, each Qatari national is entitled to just over $100K per year

Qatar is a peninsula off of Saudi Arabia and only 4,247 square miles

Doha is the capital and has been likened to the NYC of the Middle

East.

The World’s Most Innovative University Community

Education City in Doha is one of the world’s first “multiversities,“ a place where you’ll find not

just one exceptional university, but six.

Home to 1,300 students — of more than 70 nationalities—Education City offers world-class

academic programs on a sprawling, 2,500-acre campus.

A Multiversity

• Carnegie Mellon (business & computer science)

• Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts

(BFA degrees in Fashion, Graphic, and Interior Design)

• Weill Cornell Medical College

• Texas A&M University (engineering)

• Georgetown University School of Foreign Service

• Northwestern University (communications and journalism)

When you live in a “multiversity” community devoted to academic excellence, you’ll benefit

from an exciting exchange of ideas and perspectives that you simply can’t find on the typical

college campus.
