History - Expo 2005 Aichi, Japan - Qatar pavilion


Qatar Pavilion highlights the rich history of Qatar and the development it is now undergoing. It introduces Doha and the Qatari culture to the people of Japan and to the world. The pavilion showcases the country's history, culture and society, economy, industry, education and the preparations to host the 15th Asian Games in 2006.

Visitors can understand through its exhibits that Qatar, as an exporter of clean energy - natural gas - is not only preserving the rich and varied fauna and flora in the Arabian Gulf but is also contributing to global environment protection.
The 648-square-meter pavilion depicts the past, present and future of Qatar through interactive displays, live music and traditional craftsmen and women at work.
The objective behind Qatar's participation is to give prominence to the State of Qatar worldwide and highlight balanced development in all aspects of life.
