Portrait
Doha lived on pearl diving until the trade collapsed in the 1930s, and gas revenue since the 1990s built the skyline, the Museum of Islamic Art on its own island by I. M. Pei, and the 2022 World Cup. The construction of the tournament's stadiums drew sustained international criticism over migrant worker conditions, which Qatar addressed with labour reforms that are still being assessed.
