Comment

Sheraton Doha welcomed its first guests in 1982 on the occasion of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Summit. The hotel has been hosting the GCC Summit since its opening and continued its commitment to the event by hosting the 35th anniversary of the summit earlier on 9-10 December 2014.

Sheikh Khalifa bin Hamad bin Abdullah bin Jassim bin Mohammed Al Thani (17 September 1930 – 23 October 2016; Arabic: خليفة بن حمد آل ثاني‎) was the Emir of Qatar from 27 February 1972 until he was deposed by his son Hamad bin Khalifa on 27 June 1995. He was the grandfather of the current Emir, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
