life's too short so make the most of it, you only live but once.......
It's not what you do, or what there is to do, it's who you do it with! A weekend alone is not good, you need to meet someone or some friends to spend time with, then the weekend will be too short. Although there is much to do in Doha, it is boring doing it alone. Take up a new sport or hobby that involves meeting people. I started playing golf and met loads of people.
alexa ... do u have any recommendation for good tailor ? i went to the souq waqif this morning (on my own! ) and bought some material. And want to make some simple long trousers. No idea where to go ... used to go to Fitwell in the past the one near Burger King roundabout ... but i thought i ask around first if any other recommendation.
Here are a few (not tried and tested) but you can always get adventorous :
1. Ask personal questions to the most snobish salesman at a snobish outlet.
2. Talk in a higly accented english with the same snobish salesman (rehearse beforehand- another way to kill time).
3. Give a fake smile to people at corniche. Make it snappy like a flash.
4. Make funny/scary faces at kids on corniche.
5. Make a list of all swear words you know and keep the list ready for use (in purse/besides phone/in your car).
6. If you are working than prepare a list of important phone numbers in the smallest font possible and stick it on your computer monitor with a bright sticker. Think and analyse the reaction of your work mates on weekends.
think of something... then try it here... like visiting the desert... well, i know it's not new to some of you,but it's new to me.
Doha has plenty of nice restaurants to go to. After eating, peace and relaxation is easy to find here... it's everywhere.
Go for spa in Al Sharq. Go have a drink... try the night life... try cinema 9 at city center one of those has nice couch... try horse back riding... learning how to motorbike... try skating... try moroccan food... try indian food... filipino food... thai food... try playing a ps3... try wii...
sorry.... got carried away....
hunt for new gadgets, doha has quiet good priced items. laptops are cheaper here compared in most countries. The high demand for it has brought down the prices...
if i wasn't able to help you still... there are lots of groups who always socialize every weekends... there's some nationalistic groups, art groups, religious groups, hobby groups... you'll be able to find them in book guides like marhaba/ qatar happening... who knows you'll be able to start a group of your own... B.T.D. Bored to death... just a matter of calling people, finding friends that will make you truly comfy with this place...
go to beaches, malls long walk, health spa etc etc etc so many things to do only no time weekends go so fast when you have good friends to spend time with but when alone Doha is a hell of a place to be so make some good friends fast but take care on how you choose your friends
get use to it......that is life in Doha, dry and boring....try to find out how you make ur week end worth.....go for tennis, go for dancing, go for cinemas, go for gym, go in the kornish(to see crowd)......if you have car, just drive and drive road trip..if you are not easy to gain weight, do the food trip......

go for shopping with your friends
go to party with your friends
go on yacht with your friends...
so your problem as for now is FRIENDS!! As you are new here...
so it's not that "life in Doha dry and boring...." as retahnam said, it's lack of friends...
but it will come, for sure.. just a bit of patience doll...
