Agree with Houta: Dxb is a good place to shop and for casual visit. but to live there!! its a hell coz of only 1 thing-Traffic! but its a real problem when you live there. Rent wise both are almost same, but for people in Dubai there are options like Sharjah or other northern emirates if they want to spend less on rent but ready to take more traffic! but here every were is the same even if you go to AlKhor its the same rent as of Doha. All general items expect petrol is cheap in dxb compared to Doha.

it is nice to go to DXB for few days ... have fun , do some shopping and things like that .. but not to live there ... very crowded ... trafic jam all the time

we used to live there and we moved to Doha coz my Husband went crazy bcoz of the traffic .

but soon Doha will be like DXB i think !

I feel that Qatar will be like Dubai in a few years.

Oh yes, Dubai's infrastucture is so good that you can enjoy it by sitting in the traffic for 2 hours ;o)

At least in Qatar you can go from Doha to almost anywhere in the country in one hour!

There is no doubt about that off course Dxb is much better than Qatar. Dxb has good infrastructure, good entertainment in all case Dxb far more better.

Concerning the level of freedom and joy, Dubai is definitely the answer.

A peaceful and restrictive lifestyle goes for Qatar...

Personally I prefer dubai for sure

lots of things to do

in terms of cost of living its very similar, sometimes dubai is slightly cheaper

however in dubai since there are many things to do and places to go to, you tend to spend a lot more

Qatar is a village compared to Dubai. Again if you like a not so busy lifestyle with not much to do, dont like traffic then Qatar is for you..However if you like goin out to the beach the parks a very vibrant night life the shoppings malls in the world then Dubai is the desitination..so on..
