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

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

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.

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! :)

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.
