I think one of the main reasons for the high turnover of foreign staffs in Qatar is that they have too high expectations prior to coming to Qatar. It would be less painful if your expectations are lower. Different people and culture shock among others are common denomination for complaints. Qatar cannot be the same as London or New York. The more realistic you are about all the new things you experience in Qatar while you r there, the better you adapt to the place. Or do like the Qataris do while U are there. What about the food in Doha by the way? Do I have to change my diet to fit in ?
