Doha

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Acronyms, Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.04 sec.
Doha (dō`hä), city (1994 est. pop. 361,500), capital of Qatar, SE Arabia, on the Persian Gulf. Doha was a small fishing and pearling village until oil production in Qatar began in 1949. Since then it has become a modern city, with a deepwater port and an international airport. Fishing is still an important industry.

Doha

 Arabic Al-Dawhah

City (pop., 1997: 264,009), capital of Qatar. Located on the east coast of the Qatar Peninsula, it contains about three-fifths of the country's population. Long a centre of pirate activity in the Persian Gulf, Doha was a small village when it became the capital of newly independent Qatar in 1971. The city has been thoroughly modernized. Its Government House (1969) was built on reclaimed waterfront land; its water supply is obtained by distilling seawater. The deepwater port, built in the 1970s, accommodates oceangoing vessels.
