We are moving to Qatar in the new year, and we are trying to get a balanced view of life in Qatar. We recognise that everywhere has good and bad points.

Your experience and insight would be welcomed

About the only things you can't find here are cheap paperback books and a lot of over-the-counter medications. Bring sunscreen!

As you said it yourself: Qatar has its good and bad sides. It's completely up to you on which side you are going to land.

Yes,

I wouldn't move at all. Unfortunate but true. I will strongly strongly consider Dubai as the alternative.
