Airport and DESS consider the other side of Doha. If you live somewhere around west bay ... it is close for DESS but long way to go to work.

If you live somewhere around Al Waab ... the area also not that far for commuting to DESS.

Distance between places in Doha not that far ... morning school traffic could be a problem though. I live somewhere near Ramada Hotel ... and took me 40 mins in the morning to go to DESS.
