Lisa, no worries.. those are the GUYS who say, it's boring here.. don't believe them. If you want, you will have the invitation for outing every single day. Bars, dancing, restaurants, beaches, diving, yachts.. all is here.. moreover, if you like the art, theatre and classic music, Doha is much better then Dubai in this department. Doha brings great shows and performances from all over the world, and guess what.. it's either free or very reasonable price! Where else on the earth you can have it??
You will find the beauty of Doha soon, and once you like it, you will feel really happy here!
