Flag of Qatar
The flag of Qatar has a maroon field, on the hoist side of which is a white vertical band that spans about one-third the width of the field and is separated from the rest of the field by nine adjoining fly-side pointing white isosceles triangles that serve as a serrated line.
Where it is
Qatar is grouped in Western Asia, within Roam’s Asia region. Its land-border list includes 1 country in this atlas: Saudi Arabia. The source classifies it as not landlocked.
Qatar has a recorded area of 11,586 square kilometres. Among the 17 countries assigned to Western Asia in this dataset, it ranks 14 by area, from largest to smallest. Kuwait is immediately above it in that ordering, at 17,818 km². Lebanon is immediately below it, at 10,452 km². This comparison uses the source’s area figures and subregions, not a ranking of all territories.
The marker shows the atlas location. Small countries may be too small for an outline at this scale. Map boundaries are illustrative.
People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 2,972,215 people for Qatar in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 257 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are Arabic. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is Qatari Riyal (QAR). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
