JuliaRose, if u happen to look carefully, the birds are coming from Iran (the North Side) where the weather is more cold are going South to warmer / Tropical Climates.

There are two types of Migration:

long-distance migration, &

short-distance migration.

As per my knowledge, some short-distance migrating birds stay in warmer regions of Saudi Arabia along the red sea coast; whereas some more species travel to Egypt, Sudan and farther to Ethiopia.

For long-distance migration, birds fly as far as South Africa too.

More information can be found on WIKIPEDIA.

The reason birds migrate is that they are avoiding the cold weather brewing in the place they are staying so they move to warmer countries. There is a possibility they are just "passing through" Doha when you noticed them. Scientifically, birds can travel thousands of miles so it's possible Doha is not their final stop. They might have headed towards Iran or beyond... Once they know that the weather in their place has warmed up, they go back.
