km highway network seamlessly connects the industrial cities o Ras laan, Dukhan
and Mesaieed with the capital city, Doha.

exceptionally well-developed communications inrastructure under the guidance
o the Supreme council or communication and Inormation Technology. Internet
availability continues to grow exponentially, having increased rom just 3.6% o the
population in 2000 up to an impressive 51.8% in 2010, buoyed by the building o a
