I will be moving to Qatar shortly and will be working in Al Udeid Airforce Base. I wanted to know what areas are close by so that I can look for housing around there...Thanks

No contractors live anywhere around the air base itself. It's about a 15 min drive from the Villagio Mall or Landmark Mall areas, which is where most contractors live. Salwa Rd leads directly onto a highway that is a straight shot to AUAB. Your best bet is to try to get accommodations at the AB, rent a car and drive around looking for signs on places (usually a large compound) near where you might like to live. Try to find a referral from a co-worker on a decent apartment or villa. Don't get talked into living anywhere near downtown Doha. The traffic in and out of there is a nightmare, especially from AUAB. Just stick around the malls and you'll be happy....
