Concerns
Hi,
My husband and I are moving to Qatar soon and I have some concerns, can anyone help with them..............
Is it safe?
Are there any deadly creatures like scorpions about?
Are there any tropical diseases to be worried about?
Is the road safety issue I have read about dangerous enough for me to be worried about my children?
Are cockroaches a problem?
Thank you, A.
BullDog!!!Superb!!!LOL
Hi,I too just arrived,well 3 weeks ago;Yes it is safe,i haven't seen any scorpions yet as i haven't been in the desert,no tropical disease and cockroaches can be a problem if you live in a tower block in town as lots of construction going on everywhere you are in Doha.The main problem is the temperatures,especialy in the summer,july and august are unbearable.The driving here is hectic,a fast pace and bullying on the road is common,get practicing blowing your horn!!!I hope you settle down fine,i am still working at it!!!Good luck.
Hey,
Well how freaked do u get with cockroaches ??? lol....
There are no creatures or anything bad here. I just hope u love cats - bcause they are in abundance here. Everythin else is pretty cool here. Relax n have fun!!
i could tell you a horror story about cockroaches that would make a stephen king nightmare look like a fairy tale by comparison............
Qatar is a neat n very good country , dont worry ..welcome.....
In my country if you have cockroaches at home or any place it means there is not enough cleaning.Actually I have never seen them in my whole life until I came to Egypt and Qatar.And believe me,cockroaches can scare you to death.After all I like spiders more and these cute little lizards.So I fully understand why she asks about cockroaches in particular as not everyone can live side by side with these insects.

Is it safe?
It is a war zone here, we all wear bullet proof jackets and some of us do not make it back home. beware
Are there any deadly creatures like scorpions about?
Loads of them, they are everywhere... So if you make it home from the random shooting and looting scorpions will get yah
Are there any tropical diseases to be worried about?
Desert is the perfect climate for all the tropical disease you can think of... So if you make it home and scorpions don't get yah... tropical disease will
Is the road safety issue I have read about dangerous enough for me to be worried about my children?
It is a big issue, we have adopted, now we have fitted engines and wheels to coffins, so it makes it easy to lay to rest, due to long line of accident victums.
Are cockroaches a problem?
No ma'am no roaches here.
See yah soon... or not
You dont have any worries, although I am curious as to where the cockroach statement came from :)
