One thing Qatar has a competative advantage in is steel production. Along with other high-energy consuming industries. Good for us, there is a serious shortage of steel in qatar and the region.
I think once that bridge is completed between Bahrain and Qatar (whenever that will be), Saudi will have a rival for it's steel exports.
Good news, hope it will start production before the construction boom ends in the Gulf hehe
