Doha
Doha is the capital of Qatar, transformed from a small fishing and pearling settlement into a major global city through significant investment of natural gas wealth.
Transforming within a single generation from a modest fishing settlement into a gleaming global city, this Qatari capital's rapid rise was fueled almost entirely by natural gas wealth.
