Start near the middle of Qatar and dig straight down through the centre of the Earth, and you would surface around 25.3490° S, 128.8206° W, in South Pacific Ocean 🌊. That spot is open water; the nearest coast is Pitcairn Islands 🇵🇳, roughly 117 km (73 miles) south-west.
The closest settlement of any size is Papeete, French Polynesia, about 2,313 km (1,437 miles) from the point.
