Here is how I will get to Cape Town from Hong Kong. It’s on Qatar Airways with two 8 hour flights and then the ‘hop’ down to Cape Town on South African Airways from Johannesburg. The stop in Doha shows where Qatar is : a kingdom on the small Qatar Peninsula on the much larger Arabian Peninsula. Qatar is arguably the world’s richest country : it’s estimated 2011 GDP per capita was $102,943 according to the International Monetary Fund.
