Moving to Qatar

XLE
By XLE

Hi Everyone,

I am new in this forum and I hope all of you guys are doing great.

I am planning to move to Qatar perhaps next year. I've got some questions and your response will be deeply appreciated.

1. Are there any music lounge, bars or even restaurant with music bands in Qatar?

2. How fast is the internet connection? Could you watch youtube without buffering?

3. Are there any Filipino bands who work there?

4. Is it boring in Qatar?

Thank you very much for your replies in advance!

Cheers!

first u check your company is good or not giving proper salary or time and than you can think about Bar etc , oneness you join company here you cannot change the job without NOC,so make sure that you are coming to a good company other wise working in Qatar will be hell.in Qatar there lot of companies who not giving salary on time 2/3/4/6 pending salary companies are still post new job!!!!

As with everywhere, it is what you make it. It can be boring but there is more than enough to do, if you have the mind to.
