Just like most GCC countries, Qatar is also very rich in culture and one of the many ways the country promotes its culture is through its tasty and delicious cuisines. Qatar is a very beautiful country and record has it that foreigners make up to more than 80% of the country’s population so one would expect so many foreign businesses set up in the country to serve its inhabitants.
