Gulf state, capital Doha (5)

I believe the answer is:

qatar

(Other definitions for qatar that I've seen before include "Gulf sheikhdom" , "Sheikdom on the Persian Gulf" , "Sheikhdom due to host the 2022 World Cup" , "found by the Persian Gulf" , "Arab country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
