Can anyone tell me the population ratio of Qataris to non-Qataris? The most recent information I can find shows a total population of just over 900,000. But how many are Qatari?

There was an article in the gulf times a few days ago saying that the medical center was conducting 250,000 tests a year. Although a lot of people will leave, I still think that the 1,000,000 population is *very* out of date.

Qatarists sounds like terrorists and Qatarites sounds like parasites so my favourite would have to be Qatarians! :-D

At the 800,000 population it was about 150,000 Qataris and 650,000 Expats. Ratio is probably still pretty much the same.

Yes it is somewhere between 3-4 : 1 unlike Dubai where i have heard ratios of 9:1.

Why is it a secret? Like everything in the ME, on a need to know basis and you only get told after you really need to know and it is to damn late...... Arab management. 9 managers 1 worker.
