10th Anniversary of Qatar Postal Service - 1.25 riyal

This commemorative stamp marks the 10th anniversary of Qatar's independent national postal system (10th Anniversary of Qatar Postal Service / الذكرى السنوية العاشرة لبريد قطر). The multi-colored illustration contrasts traditional and modern logistics by depicting a robed mail rider mounted on a dromedary camel moving across desert dunes toward a modern urban building complex, while a sleek jet airliner streaks across the blue sky leaving a double vapor trail overhead.
