Who is this man who wants to turn the desert state into a sports venue? Who is strategically using access to the world’s largest gas field to expand their power on the political scene? Who is the Emir that everyone wants to talk to?

More in demand than ever before

June 25, 2013 is a remarkable day for the countries of the Persian Gulf: Tamim’s father is the region’s first president to voluntarily abdicate.
