We moved to Qatar 6 months ago. The government does a lot to take care of the people here, hence, they appear to be happy. No signs of rioting or even protests. There is a high level of education here, and the government is promoting the hiring of Qatari people. Organizations such as Qatar Foundation make it their mission to move the country forward, as well as the people who live here. I would highly recommend you moving forward with your move, as we have been very happy here.
