hi there,
I moved from Washington DC to Dubai and that was certainly a big change even though I had heard a lot of things about Dubai being a western city. I was made redundant while working as a Project Manager after only 3 weeks due to Dubai's financial crisis. I moved to Doha for a few interviews and found a good opportunity with better compensation and all. Moved to Doha 10 days ago and simply love the city. Just come with min. expectations and u will be very happy. With no friend's or even family members in Doha, it has been a bit hard for most expats, but things settle down. I am living in a decent 2-bed place and it works well for me. Do keep in touch and ask for any advice. What kind of work do u do and what are your qualifications?
