Moving to Qatar
By mrsshowbiz •
Hi there I am a newbie to this forum.
My husband and I are seriously considering a move to Qatar for my husbands work (aviation). We are going to be visiting Qatar in March. Can someone please comment on what life is like living in Doha in regards to social life, British primary schools, etc. We have one daughter who is just about to start school. Thankyou, Mrs S
When are you coming ?
There is many international schools in Qatar.
English ,Canadian, American, French,German etc schools.
I'm a native Qatari. I don't know about the social life of foreign people in Qatar. Yet, I know that Qatari people are very friendly, welcoming, generous. You may feel a little scared from ladies that covering their faces around the country, but they are really kind .There are many nice places around Doha, the capital of Qatar. Many hotels with nice gyms and spas. You many meet people and make friends there. I recommend you to go to desert and camp there for a night or two; of course not in Summer. You can also have a job if you are good in English and be a tutor . Tutors make good money here. That's all I have in my mind for now. You can ask if you have concern about something ; you are welcome.

Brit... are you looking for old Zealand or old Zooland...lol
Haha yes plenty of sheep, cows, greenery and kiwis (I'm a Brit)! NZ is beautiful, but it will be nice to be closer to home and to experience life in the ME!
The sheep? By ship.
Thank you kind sir..
So, how did the Danes get the sheep to the Antipodes ?

What are you doing up so early MrsS. Isn't it 04:05 over there now?
Mary Catherine and time bandit, thank you so much for your replys. Yes I think it is a good idea to get her name on a school list asap. Thank you I will have a look on that website.
Timebandit, would love to have a coffee and gain an idea into life in Qatar. I will PM you nearer the time. Regards, MrsS
Too much to write. Drop me a PM when you are over and we can meet for a coffee then.
You could try also asking about schools on the expatwoman.com website (Qatar page) - I have no direct knowledge myself but believe that any of the desirable schools have waiting lists and it would be best to get her on one ASAP
Thank you for that. I have already had a look at that web page. What I was after was a more of a personal insight, thanks, Regards.
u can search this page for more information
