Bodies of Water

Qatar has two Inland seas, and is located in the Persian Gulf.
The Gulf of Bahrain, the Gulf of Salwah, and the Khawr al Udayd are all bodies of water located in Qatar.

Landforms

Most of Qatar is a flat and rocky, sandy plain. Low hills punctuate the landscape, west and central, with massive sand dunes in the southeast.

A few salt pans line the western coastal areas, and within Qatar there are no perennial rivers or lakes.

The Hawar islands serve as a loading terminal for oil from the western oil fields.

Qatar's highest point is Qurayn Abu al Bawl, which peaks at 338 ft (103 m).

Natural resources

Oil and natural gas are major natural resources.

Vegetation

Qatar has an arid climate, providing sparse vegetation. This also affects the type of wildlife in the area.
