1) NBN compound - Bu Hamour QR11,000 unfurnished Nasir Bin Khalid Real Estate, same as Mercedez Benz Company

2) Nursery across the street from the compound

3) Showtime - 6 sport channels, Discovery and some British series ie coronation street

4) Bank will mostly be determined by which bank your company uses for salary transfers, but all banks are the same in terms of basic service. Found IBQ to be better when buying vehicles

5) Cars are cheap and you can make a car loan easy. New 4x4 for about QR120,000 and up. 4x4 is better becos size counts when you drive around here. Rental cars are expensive in comparison to monthly repayments.

6) Get your company to give you a no objection letter, so you can go buy your own beer at the only bottle store in qatar, otherwise any hotel or club will do
