Canadian moving to Barwa City
I'm moving from Canada to Doha in the next few weeks, possibly to Barwa City. Can anyone help with any information about Barwa City? How's the drive to the airport during the morning/afternoon rush horur traffic? I heard a lot of the newer Qatar Airways staff are housed in Barwa, is this true? What's the general population there like?
Any help is greatly appriciated :)
My Manager is statying over there..... As per his view, Barwa CIty is fine for families.
Thanks for all the info. From what I gathered, leave for work before 6:30 to beat traffic, Having said that, how long of a drive is it to the airport, if I do leave at 6:10 or 6:15?. What are some of the facilities available around? As for the expats at in Barwa, what's the mix like? Westren? Asian? Arabs? Just curious honestly. Also, how long of a drive is it from central Doha? Say in the evening if i wanted to go to West Bay or somewhere downtown, how long would that take? Also, any other pointers you'd like to give me would be appreciated.
Hi, since last year along with family i live in Barwa and its very nice place to live and also getting better and better. also the staff for Qatar Airways are housed in Barwa and mostly young bachlors and dont know abt family but i'm sure there is family accomodation for the staff for Q/A.
It's more secure when you see people around you than a deserted road. So heavy traffic would be a kind of assurance to you ...... Mon, 15.09.2014, 12.20 hrs ..........
hi I live in Barwa city too. its very nice place to live. also after F ring road completion (supposed to open this month) traffic should be fine.
Search for My Barwa City on Facebook. There's a friendly group with over 1800 people there.
Qatar Airways, Hamad hospital, Civil Defence (among others) have housing in Barwa City.
Traffic jams start after 6.30am in the morning. Evenings should be ok.
good
Doha is very quite and safety in the middle east.barwa city is very good accomadation.
The population of Doha consists mainly of expatriate workers and they come from all parts of the globe. The city has quiet, friendly atmosphere. The crime rate is also very low.
rush hours start from 6:30am in the morning so you have to leave before 6:30am from your house..
afternoon will be fine less traffic...
