Aberdeen on the profile.

Spending Christams in Kintore with the daughter and grandkids.

Qatar is expensive and getting worse. However, its a great place to bring up kids. You get a lot of time with them.

The weather is great - much better than Aberdeen. No wild haggis running around, but we do have the odd camel.

Traffic congestion is a problem, but you get used to it.

The main problem yo will face is ensuring acceptance in a good school.

Go for it!

yeah.. nothing is wrong with qatar..as Novi said, make sure you got a good package and come to enjoy here.. anyway at least it's mach warmer than Scotland for sure..lol...

nothings wrong with Qatar ... just make sure your husband getting the normal expat perks then your family are set to live here.

Dont accept housing allowance or school allowance, ask for the house and the school to be paid fully. The rest are usual like medical and flight home annually.

Long waiting list, but if your child have british passport there is hope.

is nothing wrong with Qatar, we raised two kids there and thoroughly enjoyed the time.
