Anton,
It is 'Cattar'; 'Cutter/Cudder' is what the septics call it.
Oggers,
Given the level of activity in the region of late, I fear you may be deluged with responses. Do you have a specific question about the place?

The most accurate English estimate is something halfway between "cutter" and "gutter." It's not "KUH-tar," the pronunciation that has become the standard among TV newscasters.

The problem with the quote is that it comes from a Septic. Ask any self-respecting Qatari, and they will tell you that the Septics can't pronounce arabic words for toffee.

Anton beat me to it. But apart from that I got 'accepted' during the last QEAF rotary recruitment drive and wondered if anyone here has recent experience.
