Doha is Good Alhamdhu'Lillah. Loads of brit Muslim expats over here. We get together with the brothers and the sisters organise something at least once or twice a week, for a dhars, dinner, footie or squash..... there is quite a lot to do, depends on the person really

Schools are a massive problems, you are better off coming here and having a look at them yourself rather than making judgement over the net on peoples opinions. What's good for them might not be for you and visa a vis. you better rush regarding the schools as the year is coming to a close. Best place to live would be somewhere close to your childrens schools, as school runs are a massive problem.

We've been here nearly 4 years, get in touch closer to the time you arrive, and it would be better to have chat.

Also QL is a good place to get all your info, it seems like a god send, never had it or it was no where as good around 4 years ago when i needed something like it. Use the search you will find a lot of useful info there, also about the schools.

Insha'Allah I hope and pray it all works out well for you
