I think you mean the Abu Hamour area.

Email me and I'll send you a pdf map of the area if you like.

Doha is expanding outwards like most cities with dozens of compounds springing up everywhere. It's hard to say without visiting a particular compound.

I think Abu Hamour is a bit out of the way but having said that I know many people who live farther out.

Depending on where you want to go you should factor about 30-45 minutes during rush hour.
Also, Abu Hamour is home to Doha's main graveyard. I hesitated to say that but I guess you should know. It is not, however, visible from any compound or the main road.

A church is also being built in the area.
