Qatar is a very small country (180km by 80km, means 1/55 of the France surface), with a major part very bad for meteorite hunting (by experience, north part is to rocky, the south is full of salt flats where meteorite are quickly weathered). Only few meteorite found there... I have specimens from two of the few meteorites found in this country, here I offer to collectors a specimen of Qatar 001.
