Thanks, how awesome, I was thinking it was more like 1.5 hours from what everyone has said about Doha traffic!! :)

Being here in the USA is a bit difficult to find out what areas are best to live in Doha... My husband and I love being at home, we prefer high rises with a nice gym though given we are bringing motorcycles over I am thinking somthingh is a garage might be best. We have no kids so schools and having other kids around us is not a top priority.

Given this, which areas/buildings would you guys recommend? We don't want to commute more than say 30-40 minutes each way if we can help it (to and from new DOHA airport).

What information is there out there about the Pearl, I imagine is still is mostly a huge construction site but are there finished buildigns there worth commuting to and from? Are shoping areas and restaurants nearby already finished?

Thanks so much!
