Are there certain areas in Doha that are most popular with American Expats? Are there certain areas to avoid?

No need to worry. You will be worshiped like a God here since you are an American

I have been wondering this also . . . I see lots of British and Canadian folks . . . I know there has to be some Americans here . . . must be an underground thing.

Thanks for the replies. I too am an american engineer, and look forward to experiencing living in a different part of the wold. My company is providing housing, and I was looking for insight from an independent source.

Thanks again.

All of Doha is safe. Everyone here is mixed nationalities. It's much more fun that way! What's the point of going abroad if you don't want to meet other cultures? I am American, working for an American company, but on my company compound my neighbors are from all over the world. Most companies place their employees in housing (easiest and cheapest way to go.) Only place to avoid is the Industrial area, but since you are lucky enough not to be a 3rd world laborer, you have no worries there. Enjoy Doha
