From the Paper:

"Qatar is an independent state occupying the Qatar Peninsula, jutting into the Persian Gulf from the eastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. On its southern side, the country of about 4427 square miles - about the combined area of Connecticut and Rhode Island - is bordered by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates but these boundaries are undemarcated, although a movement toward creating a more formal border is underway. (Parker, 1999, p. 7). The land is stony and largely barren and extremely hot, arid climate prevails. Humidity is high during the summer (May to October), but the average annual rainfall is less than 5 inches. The major natural resources are petroleum and natural gas."
