I have a similar question... I am moving out in May with my husband (newly wed before we arrive), and 11 year old son. We live a fairly quiet life in Cyprus anyway, so as long as we are connected via internet and satellite tv, we will not feel too away from home. but is there a safe environment for my son? children he can play with? are there more residential areas with international families living close by? these are important as I know he will need to settle in quickly and its easier if there are more children in the area. I will be working flat out, so I can settle anywhere without any problems. Any advice would be great. I have looked through this site, but without knowing towns and their lcoations, it is hard to know where are the best areas. I will be working at the West Bay District and I am trign to get my son into the Qatar International School as a collegue's daughter goes there, which might help.
