Where to live in Doha?? good question...usually that selection depends upon the location of the office, ease of access/traffic at peak times, school for the kids, facilities nearby...etc.

So in the end depending on where you are going to work you may choose the "living" zone.

Most people I know go for the Al Waab area (heading to Vilagio mall), others prefer West Bay (city center) and many others prefer the Al Sadd area.

Regards!!
