bad idea...as you said you have an 8 months old baby then it will be useless to spend summer here...bcoz you will have to stay at home all the time with kids in the A/C...secondly you stay in Al-Khor and its a boring place..atleast in doha city a person never gets bored..anyways all of us gave you our suggestions and the rest depends on you...if you still plan to spend summer vaccations then you are welcome...how long your hubby has been staying here?

in your profile you have written that you had been here twice...so i think you should be aware of the heat over here during summer...anyways as you have already visited qatar then it depends on you....

It would be very hot I guess.. and in the later summer months a lot of humidity for the icing on the cake...!!! This is my first summer here as well... but thats what I heard from my friends here, who are here for the past few years...

Would be too hat to walk or sit in any place without A/C

you and your family will spend all day in one of the Malls and that is it

Not a good idea at all. Most mums going home with the kids, playgroup and coffee morning shuts. Very hot to go outdoor. Your life will confine house - car - shops
