I lived in Alkhor and in Ras Laffan - and later commuted to Doha.
Hi ummsumaya,
Alkhor community has one of the best compounds anywhere. It has two schools (Indian and British), a hospital/dentist and Hamad hospital, super markets and three clubs. It has also restaurants (french, asian and italian) and kinds of sports and leisure facilities. Recently, they installed Wi-Fi as well in the main club. The population is more 6000 and it's lively. So, it's a nice place but the rest of Alkhor is like a small doha - and frankly boring.
Ras Laffan is about 20 mins drive away from the compound and Doha is about 25-45 mins (depending on your speed and where in doha you want to go).

I hope this helps and welcome to Qatar.
