as it needs to open up a lot to catch up to dubai buy maybe in 2015 hopefully .well they are trying to copy dubai by building big buildings and also big roads and stuff but still they need to open up a little bit.
and if any body can guess what qatar will look like after 25 years which country will be similar or will be unqiue but I dont think that qatar will has own style qatar will take part from each country to bulid her civilization as Islamic Museaum nothing related to qatar its Iranian and syrian and egyptian arts nothing realted to qatar cz on that time qatar was tribe that set and if all the expat get out of qatar will return to be tribe again cz expat who make qatar
Doha is still young when you compare with Dubai...
If Dubai is liked for the Glamour it has.. Doha for the peace of Mind it gives.....
I came from Mumbai, India here... The city is hell..... 24x7 alive, on a run... very fast life.... the whole city is as busy n lively as time square or wall streets you know...
The Calmness of Doha was like a Gift after the hard earned life in Mumbai...
Hard Work Doesn't Kill Anyone... But Why take Chances.
Alexa - I agree about doha being a better place to be right now due to work situation being better here - i was reloacted from dubai recently and have friends there in construction as well who are being shipped over here too - fortunately not fat and balding although u'll see them in the irish bar for sure!
Anyway i'm off to dubai this weekend to swim in faeces amongst the high rises - wish me luck! lol
Doha is just a giant ugly strip mall. All bullshit and no substance. Hey I've got an idea.. why doesn't the Emir and company build a corrupt slave playground and fill it with empty western garbage to be resold at high price. Then all the egotistic residents can buy up all kinds of worthless crap to try and impress each other. What a pathetic dirt strip catering to the tackiest sensibilities.
Sorry to rant. I clearly hate so much about this country.
Doha soon to have a new fabulous airport. My hubby is a Structural engineer and they are working on the new airport. He says will be very impressive one! So, you can cross that off your list! :-p
So Alexa have u been to dubai or u just basing ur opinions on newspapers? I reckon dubai is the bollox - great beaches (the best beaches at jbr/marina are unaffected with the clearest water i've ever seen).
I spent 12 months there and moved here 3 month ago. Very different places but i would say dubai has more to offer.
The beaches
Better malls
More and heaps better bars/restaurants
Cheaper places to drink, great cafes where u can sit outdoor (hard to find here)
Water parks
Nice green parks (safa park)
Better supermarkets
Dubai has got a real vibe to it.
Take each one in isolation and it may seem not to make much difference but as a whole life is easier there and more enjoyable. My weekends felt like i was on holiday whereas here i feel trapped apart from going to irish bar or the souk there doesn't seem to be much else.
I don't think Qatar will be like Dubai..it will be similar in some aspects as I believe we are learning from them in real estate industry..however, we have oil and Gas and bigger land which will naturally be factored in future development, something which Dubai does not have, and thise is where Qatar's advantage is and it is what will make Qatar different than Dubai...not to say Qatar will be nice place though!
really I like your answers but still no one get to real point is qatar will be like dubai and if that happen what dubai will be on that time what qatar needs to be full country no empty towers few malls people working only like dun........
You are right. It will take 1-2 decades to be like DUBAI but still will not be like dubai.
.
And we all can imagine that after 1-2 decades, where will be DUBAI .......... ufffffff I cannot even think of it. So beautiful, so advanced but I hope there will be no TRAFFIC PROBLEM AT ALL in those coming days.
Rasha, ask yourself, "why does Dubai have all the things Qatar doesn't?"
You should find the simple answer that Dubai's Oil and Gas reserves are dwindling and they are boosting tourism as a revenue earner.
Qatar is sat on a huge gas bubble and doesn't need tourism as much.
And at the end of the day, if you like Dubai and what it has to offer so much, you could always move there, but till then, be satisfied with what you adopted host country has to offer.
I don't have problem to love Qatar but you must admit that its not fully country still needs lots of things to be more intresting and more usful not for work only non Qatari people in Qatar come for work so they work the hole day and in the weekends feel boaring that nothing to do except shoping in malls I think this is not good life cz also qatari when they wanna have good time traviling to Dubai....
Still Years for Qatar to be country by it self needs more all towers in Qatar no body there yet its empty towes try to copy Dubai by doing the same towers and call them Dubai towers 1 and 2

as it needs to open up a lot to catch up to dubai buy maybe in 2015 hopefully .well they are trying to copy dubai by building big buildings and also big roads and stuff but still they need to open up a little bit.
To your question, "Hopefully ,never".... Hope Qatar retains its individuality and doesnt become too much like Dubai.. abe
Qatar today was like Dubai five years ago!
and if any body can guess what qatar will look like after 25 years which country will be similar or will be unqiue but I dont think that qatar will has own style qatar will take part from each country to bulid her civilization as Islamic Museaum nothing related to qatar its Iranian and syrian and egyptian arts nothing realted to qatar cz on that time qatar was tribe that set and if all the expat get out of qatar will return to be tribe again cz expat who make qatar
ANY ONE CAN ANSWER

Qatar is better....... Wht else do we need.
If night life was good here.... QL would have had been a Dumb Site....
Hard Work Doesn't Kill Anyone... But Why take Chances.

I hope not. Otherwise we might see a "crown prince" torturing a Nepali for fun.

Qatar will not be like Dubai ... (economy crisis!!)
Khanan..good point!!
Ofcourse my thoughts above are based on the assumption that qualified people must utilise the resources..
I don't think we have enough Qatari expertise but we can partner and recruit and consult..this is what is happening now..
To each his own..
To me Dubai is too plasticky, fake, bland, stale, cliquey and hectic..
But that's only my personal opinion..
Do we have high itlectuals at right position make these advantages into reality?
I hope Qatar does not become Dubai and I think Dubai is not a standard Qatar must be looking for...
I better opt for Abu Dhabi much better than DXB in many aspects.

Rasha - because I don't like Dubai, and would be disappointed if Qatar (Doha) turned out the same.
there use to be attrative beaches but now it attracts only GHOST as all the beaches had be dugged....:)
i know people who have a decrease in their salaries in Dubai.
.
I hope Qatar will NOT Be like Dubai.

.
Neither ATTRACTIVE beach like DUBAI.

Oh, yeah, and I rarely go shopping but always find things to occupy my time in the evening and weekends :o)

NO NEVER......
+1 Tallg, you beat me to it.
Rasha, How many souqs does Dubai have? I've only ever seen one.
Malls, gee whiz, I can shop anywhere.
Cafes,? We have plenty.
What does Dubai have that I'd like to see here?
1. Wild Wadi
2. A Go Kart track
3. A decent international airport terminal.
4. Ace Hardware!
5. Bacon.
6. Reasonably clean public beaches.
7. Better Drivers.
8. Decent Rock shows.
But do I NEED all those? Not really.
Qatar has its own charm and they should not copy Dubai
[img_assist|nid=50852|title=hmm|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
Qatar is much better than Dubai. Too commercial for me. Qatar is unique and I think, will stay that way.
" AN END DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE MEANS "
Agree with TallG & Darude
" AN END DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE MEANS "
what do u mean by hopefully not Tallg????
Hopefully not.
ya I know its growing now but the final I think will be after 50 or 100 nyears to be central country
atlest you find place to go not just 3 or 4 mall and one souq and few caffes..life is easy there you can find anything anytime simple as simple
in terms of what?
growing economy? well it's happening now...
what good do you see in Dubai.
Qatar is better than Dubai i would say.
I need logic answers please not dream answers
