It would take a lot of imagination and it would have to be significantly cheaper to have a hope of competing with Dubai. Possibly a poor man's Dubai? But if it was to work, it would have to have something unique to offer. Dubai has beaches, Qatar only a couple, Dubai has golf courses and racecourses, waterparks a ski slope, festivals etc.

Qatar would have to develop along these lines to have even a glimmer of hope. All I am saying is that it is possible. Just!
