The Post Office in Qatar began operating modestly in 1950 with just 6 staff. Nevertheless the story begins in earnest in May 1963 when the State of Qatar took full responsibility for its own Postal Services.

From that date, what is now the Q-Post sought to improve their services to the public against a rapidly increasing population and a vast and almost unprecedented rate of development. This led, ultimately and some 25 years later to a modern, purpose-built new sorting center and headquarters equipped with the latest technologically advanced equipment and designed to cater for the country\\\'s requirements well into the next century.

As well as the prestigious main building on the Doha skyline next to the Corniche, there are presently 40 Postal Branches (18 with PO Box facilities) in service in the country including the Airport Post Office which operates 24 hours daily. Additionally, a number of Postal Agencies provide limited services as well thereby ensuring that Postal Services cover the entire country.
