How business is done in Qatar
Population
About 2.7 million (2023), overwhelmingly expatriate (nationals are a small minority); affluent, young, male-skewed and concentrated in and around Doha.
Language(s) spoken
Arabic is official, but English is the lingua franca of business and daily life given the expatriate majority. Commercial materials are typically Arabic and English; government-facing content benefits from Arabic.
How business decisions are made
Hierarchical and top-down, relationship- and trust-based, with authority resting with owners and senior figures and personal networks ('wasta') central; patience and face-to-face matter. The state is dominant (gas wealth, sovereign investment, state entities), and incumbents are entrenched through relationships.
Effective marketing
Status, quality and premium positioning resonate, delivered with polished creative and respect for Islamic values; social media and influencer marketing are pervasive. Ramadan is the biggest marketing season, with National Day and major sporting events significant.
Similar countries
The other Gulf (GCC) states — the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman — which share Arabic, Islam and relationship-led business culture.
