The biggest and the only archaeological site in the country lies on the Al Khor Island that signifies the presence of civilization in the country about 4000 years ago. The earliest known great power that controlled the regions of the Persian Gulf in the country was the Sasanian Empire that flourished around the 3rd century. This was the time when Christianity spread across different territories and gained the status of a major religion.

Islam came into the picture around the 7th century when several Muslim envoys sent by Muhammad reached the nation. The Islamic period lasted for more than 1000 years. During this period, the country witnessed great development in the fields of art, education, culture, and architecture.

In between the late 18th century and mid-19th century, the Bahrainis and the Saudis ruled Qatar and its territories. During this period, Qatar saw a major rise in trade and politics. Later, the Ottomans from 1871 to 1915 and the British from 1961 to 1971 became the ruling powers.

Today, Qatar hosts a few art and music festivals where thousands of people come to witness great talents. Artists from around the world perform, dance, and sing at these events.

Food and Drink
