HELP!

Can someone please give me some information on the areas in Doha? How far is Al Wakra from ASD? How about QTEL towers? Is there an area (s) that would be a comfortable drive from both QTEL Towers and ASD? I am looking at a number of areas where 4 bedroom compound villas can be had for 10,000 QR, but I am unaware of the areas. Also, are there any areas that I should not consider?

Thanks!

I want to have an idea on how far is QSTP from ASD.

If i am working in QSTP and has a child that goes to ASD which is the best area to rent a 2 or 3 bed/ 2 bath flat?

Anybody who knows where the compound/villas for QSTP employees?

area, Al Saad, Al Azizya (good ones since you can use the new highway to Landmark Mall and then right towards the Cornishe - Q-tel towers is next to the 4 Seasons Hotel)

Ain Khalid and Mammoura are also close to ASD.

ASD would be the American School Doha. Sorry to those who are not familiar with it!

So basically what I am trying to figure out is that if my kids are going to the American School in Doha and I am working in the West Bay area, what areas are best for me to minimize the commute? I prefer to be closer to the school if possible.

Thx

Q-tel towers?? is that TV round-about area? Find out exactly where it is and then choose to live between it and ASD. Al Wakra, while cheaper in rent, is not convenient for someone who works and has kids going to school in Doha. If you have kids involved in any activities (swimming, dance, cub scouts etc) You will find yourself in the car for way too long. Traffic can be horrendous at certain times of day and my biggest hint to ANYONE moving to Doha is to choose to live as close to work/school or a point in between.

Also be aware that the road from Wakra to Doha while only 12 kms in distance may be heavily travelled during rush hour and the time needed to get from point A to point B can easily double if not triple
