Couple with 2 little kids looking at moving from Australia to Qatar. Huge culture shock I could imagine. Would be working at airport. Looking at areas to live/avoid. Costs, socialising, schools etc.
The environment will definitely be a shock after coming from the lush green of Cairns... (even despite the drought there)... I *really* miss green space here.
Sorry to say I can't offer much advice re schools etc - no kids, no knowledge...
You are moving to the right place for a family I suppose.
Malls, shopping centers, cinemas, restaurants, gardens, clubs(health clubs), beaches and events (Asian Games in Doha 2006, www.doha-2006.com) are all available in Qatar!
About education, a big variety of schools and universities available. Have a look at the following websites:
www.qf.edu.qa
www.dohacollege.com
www.asdqatar.org
Life here is quite and safe. Lots of westerns enjoy thier life here!
Apartments became expensive because of the asian games and business growth.
Qatar's winter months are brimming with unmissable experiences, from the AFC Asian Cup 2023 to the World Aquatics Championships Doha 2024 and a variety of outdoor adventures and cultural delights.
