To present Qatar's Culture i will use the Iceberg Theory, choosing 2 topics of the top and 2 topics of the bottom.

Language: Arabic is Qatar’s formal dialect. It is divided into two categories; Gulf and Standard. The standard Arabic is at times referred to as Al Fus-Ha and Al Arabiya or High Arabic. The Gulf Arabic, on the other hand, is also referred to as Khaliji and Qatari and it is divided into two other tongues, South, and North Qatari. Both categories are used and comprehended by other nations in the Middle East such as Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Dubai, Iran, Bahrain, and other nations near or bordering Qatar.

Dress:  Most of Men in Qatar wear the traditional thawb which is a long white shirt accompanied with white loose pants. The ghutra is a loose headdress worn by the men that are kept in place by a black rope called agal. Traditional Qatari women wear long black robes called the abayah and a headdress called the hijab. A burqa is worn by some women to conceal the face.

Religious Beliefs: Islam is the religion of the majority in Qatar with Muslims accounting for 67.7% of the population. Christians, Hindus, and Buddhists account for 13.8%, 13.8%, and 3.1% of the population, respectively. 

Leadership Styles: The political system of Qatar is either an absolute monarchy or a constitutional monarchy, with the Emir of Qatar as head of state and head of government. Sharia law is the main source of Qatari legislation according to Qatar's Constitution. Officially, Qatar is a constitutional monarchy, the head of state is the Emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, whose position is hereditary. Politically, Qatar is evolving from a traditional society into one based on more formal and democratic institutions to meet the requirements of social and economic progress.
