if at all possible. since your husband is working there try to live in Al Khor. They have a nice school, nice facilities and best of all NO TRAFFIC. We live next to the golf course in Doha and it takes my husband 1 hour to drive to Ras Laffan each day.

Put your child on the school list NOW! There is a serious school shortage in Doha and if you don't get placement you may find yourself homeschooling, whether you planned on it or not.
