What differences will I see in Doha having last been there in 2002?

I used to work in Qatar Airways and would like to return to live and work in Doha. Problem is I may be shocked as I was last there in 2002.

Inflation around 100% since 2002.

Living in UK and concerned about being SHOCKED by Qatar????!!!!!

Cool down, you won't find aliens here.

Just if you are expecting a small calm city as it used to be, then you'll be shocked.

ChristianAdiora. You're most welcome to be back in Doha's warm hospitality. First of all there's a great change in the skyline of the city. A state of the art design of a modern sports city with all amenities was built. Aqua parks and gardens were also added to enhance the panoramic view of the city. A number of shopping malls and hotels sprouted all over the city. A lot of improvement on the infrastructure can be seen. A new modern airport is also under construction. Currently Doha City is still undergoing a new face lift in preparation for the 2022 World Cup and beyond. Welcome back Christian.
