Hi,
A friend of mine told me following :

I've been in Doha since 98. I was employed in Ras Gas for 3 years as a contractor. They have a good package for new direct employees. The housing is situated in Al Khor (70 km from Doha) they provide schooling in their complex. As a company Ras Gas are one of the main employeers in Ras Laffan. They are present extending their trains to 6 which will increase their production facilities.
If your wife can drive its fine, as there is not a lot in Al Khor (no shopping malls, big super markets etc..). It takes at least 1 hour to drive to Doha.

Are you already in Doha or not ?
