eefye ... international school in Qatar. If you are dutch there is school call Compass that i know alot of Dutch family going to.

English family normally sent their kids to Doha English Speaking school while the american goes to American School of Doha.

I also hear good things about Park House english school.

And there is a list of some schools on this site too :

There are plenty car hire in the airport when you arrive, but i have no idea about pricing. And there are plenty around town too.

Hotel in Doha places like Ramada Hotel is very central.

Anything else you want to ask just ask away.

PS: Le Cigale, Hyatt Regency, Millenium Hotel, Marriot they quite in the central of Doha too. You still need taxi to go places but these hotels are not outskirt of Doha.
