Home to over 1.33 million people within its municipal boundaries, Doha accounts for over a third of the total population of Qatar, and its metropolitan area of nearly 2.5 million people represents over 80% of the Qatari population. Doha is located on the Persian Gulf along the republic's eastern coast. It is one of the fastest-growing cities in the Arab Union. As Qatar's capital, Doha is home to the majority of republican government institutions, including the Qatari Arab Congress and the Council of Ministers of Qatar.
