My Family

Hi QL...

I have been in Doha for 2 weeks now and finding it a fantastic experience (all be it i'm missing my wife and children).

My family fly out here from UK back end of Feb and I was wondering if there are any families similar to us looking to make friends here in Doha.

We have a villa near education city and have 2 sons under 2 years old. We are keen to make some friends during our stay here over the next few years for socialising, having a coffee, bbq's, shopping etc etc..

Sorry if this sounds cheesy or is not a permitted thread - just not sure how to go about meeting people here!

Anyway - I shall see what this thread creates in the near future - Shallah!

Definitely come play soccer on Saturdays! It's my husband who "organizes" the game, and there are generally around eight to ten players. It's not a full-on game on a soccer field, but they definitely get a great workout.

If you have questions about Doha Expat Mums & Kids just give me a shout. :)

hello......when your family will come here you should try the Aspire Park, near Villaggio....it's very nice, not only for kids....I've been there Saturday for a picnic and I really enjoyed it.... My advice after my few years Doha's experience (also as a European expat) is that you should try all kind of activities, outdoor, as much as you can and when the weather will allow you (in this way you'll avoid just sitting home and do nothing....).

For any other suggestions....just shout here......I'm sure you'll find friends to reply......all the best

You'll find it quite easy to make friends once you get here. Education City has tons of kids, which is a huge plus. Since you have kids, your wife will want to check out Doha Expat Mums and Kids when she arrives (if not before) - there are tons of playgroups, tours around the city, coffee mornings, Mums Night Out, and family events. Visit the website at http://www.dohaexpatmumsandkids.com for more info - and welcome to Qatar!
