since my last comment i have since moved to al khor, after spending 3 1/2 years in Doha.
The reaction so far is mixed. I live in the community which is well equiped for expats: club houses (recreational centers), little supermarket, school.
It's a 30mins drive to the edge of Doha, and you do need to go in about once every couple of weeks (if not more) just to top up on items.
They're building a new mall, but dunno when that's be finished.
Qatar Academy, Al Khor seems quite nice. The facilities are great. registration is in january. follows the american curriculum. arabic is based on lebaneses curriculum. teachers all expat, classes small.
Also avail is the independent school - average standard, but not co-ed.
oh and taxi to doha i have heard is about 120QR (but haven't tried!)
