I think Balderick has summarised it above for you..Anyway I hope you settle in pretty quick then you start doing all the things..

Just a word of advice..If you can drive it will be of great benefit..Public Transport does not exist for single females, even though they have double decker buses now..Taxi too expensive and can't get one when you need it..

Good luck and welcome to Qatar..
