Qatar has an advantageous geographic location, and shares an interrelationship with several countries which makes it easy to break into apparel markets. Qatar is a small, peninsular country located in the Arabian Gulf in the Middle East (Milipol, 2023). Its geographical location has played a significant role in the development of its textile and apparel industry. As a result the geographic location is within a strategic proximity to major textile and apparel markets, such as the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. Qatar shares interrelationship with Pakistan, Oman, Italy, Czechia, Singapore, Turkey and China. It prepares these countries to be great contenders in the world of apparel and textiles (Mofa, 2022). This makes Qatar a perfect country to do business with.
Qatar has unique land, on the map its location shows how differently people dress and culture. This shows the innovation of Qatar, and how modernized this part of the region is becoming. There is a sizable tract of mangroves close to Al Khor on Qatar’s northeastern coast. The sea spills into the desert in the south of the nation in a place called Khor Al Adaid, which means “Inland Sea,” along with a sizable tidal embayment that surrounds it (WTG, 2021). Most of Qatar’s area is flat, low-lying desert, which rises from the east to a central limestone plateau (Anthony, 2023). Latitude and longitude coordinates are: 25.286106, 51.534817 and has one of the richest and most modern cities on the planet (LL, 2023). The latitude and longitude of Qatar affects the weather since it is close to the equator which in turn, affects the dress of Qatar’s people.
