Hi All,

I lived in Abu Dhabi for 4 years but have been back in Canada for awhile.

I was just wondering if anybody had an opinion on how life in Doha would compare to Abu Dhabi? I'm not looking for nightlife, I am wondering more about cost of living and then family things like camping, beaches, etc

Can't wait to hear from you.....

**** be proud pinoy ****

LTR is absolutely right, if one could get a better offer with subsidized housing or free for that matter, then you'll be in for a great fun. I used to work in Dubai for about a year and a half

and the cost of living is pretty much the same here in Qatar, except

if your looking for a better night life.

Oh yes, it is fine here..plenty of opportunies for campaing and beach activities... nightlife also not far behind than UAE... it is almost same... but cost of living is tooo high comparing to the other GCC countries.. especially housing is a serious problem... the rent is too high. So if you are smart enough to get a well-bargained housing allownce then no problem.. you can decide to move in without any second thought.. best of luck.. waiting to welcome you in Doha....

It takes a minute to find that special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them but then an entire life to forget them…
