Moving to Doha Jan 09

By Jessaqua

Hi there!

I am new to this forum & wanted to officially say hello to everyone.

I am hopefully moving over to Doha this coming January & will be working in the medical field out there. I will be moving out there alone,so am hoping to make new friends via here before I get out there.

Any hints,tips good or bad that anyone can offer will be gratefully received. I am aware of a few things already from stuff I have read online etc but 1st hand experiences can often be more useful in my experience.

Looking forward to chatting

Kind Regards

Jessaqua

Hi Jess

I will also be moving over in Jan 09 too. I dont know anyone there so thought Id drop you a line seeing as we are both British females and both in the same boat.

It would be good to know other females on this site.

I will be working at The Qatar Financial Centre in Jan.

Just drop me a Hi!

regards Alia

If you need advise from a fellow Brit in the same age bracket, feel free to PM me. I'm pretty harmless, honest!

Did you Google it first?

Welcome to Qatar and I hope your move goes as smoothly as possible. There is not much that I can say about Qatar because I am a local and I like it here.

The others will enlighten you. Good luck!
