Don't know about Qatar but there are burrowing owls in UAE so I would think there would be some here.

I am not sure about the brown owl but the white owl is definitely a good omen. It's considered very lucky! It is an herald to good fortune. If it sits on your house that means you will gain a lot of money very soon!

Some people even worship the white owl.

But the grey or brown barn owl is also good to have at ones home!
