Barwa Village living
By jo mulheron •
Hi Everyone,
My husband is currently in Doha working. We are due to follow very shortly. We are going to be living in Barwa Village. Can anyone tell me what its like? We have 3 children. Two will attend the Doha British School. Basically whats family life like in Barwa. Are there any food shops? Resturants?
Any advice would be gratefully recieved.
Many thanks
can i ask you how did you contact school and did they offer you places immediately,,, my husband is working there also and we are planning to follow after christmas but almost all british schools got a very long waitting list ,,,, we will live in barwa city also ,, i have been looking for some pictures for the flats from inside but couldnt find any,,,, as far as i know its very creazy in the morning a direct trip of 15 minutes could take more than one hour in rush hours ....
How I can rent Barawa village appartment.
I hear it is long process.
Please advice
Hello, i am looking for a apartment in barwa... can you please guide me on how to avail this.
where is their office and its timings etc.,
Thanks so much for all your really helpful comments so far. Just another question, whats the traffic like in a morning and in an evening when travelling in and out of Doha? Just wondering how long the school commute may take?
Its an ideal place to live in with respect to:
a) size of the house & its rent as compared to the market
b) shopping complex within the compound
c) hospital within the compound
d) school in the compound
ur lucky to find a house there since my friend applied more than 8-9months ago and he still hasnt gotten a response from them due to high demand. I hope urs is a 2 bed room apt, considering the size of your family
Rest dont worry about anything its in the midst of the city, NOTHING to worry about at all.. just focus on your movement and Inshallah all will be fine!
Good luck
is Mega Mart super market , car tyre / alignment shop , open spacious 'green field' town among other points.
you have almost everything in barwa village... i have relatives there and i am going for an overnight sleep there every weekend... just to relax...
BBS: that tiny playing area is private for Wali restaurant (similar to the private playing areas available generally in McDonald's network) and public are not allowed unless they want to order something from their menu.
it has a medical centre,gym,mosque,school,a very good shooping centre(centrepoint) and other shops and restaurants....there was a small playing area for children near a restaurant there with jumping castle etc.,but i donno its there now or not.airport park is 5-10 mins drive,yes ,airplanes noise is irritating especially the jets...but u'l get used 2 it
I live there, and it's good generally, but here are some of the issues we are facing:
- there is no playground / park for children to play in.
- since the airport is not far so if u keep ur windows open u will be annoyed by the planes noise (especially in night & when the weather is good and u don't want to keep the AC on)
- public transportation is limited (there is a bus coming regularly to the village but taxi cars are very few especially in the morning)
welcome to Doha, neighbor! :)
is commercial cum residential complex.
A lot of different kind of businesses including a school is located within the Barwa Village. A friend of mine live there. He has no complaint so far.
Nice and spacious apartment with quality finishes and prompt maintenance.
