Qatar occupies a small peninsula in the Persian Gulf. Doha grew around the Corniche, where the Museum of Islamic Art faces the towers of West Bay and the restored Souq Waqif trades nearby. Beyond the city, dunes run down to the sea at Khor Al Adaid, and falconry and camel racing continue inland. Summer heat is severe, so visits are usually planned for winter.
