Unlike most cities in the world, where you live really depends on where you work and/or where your kids go to school. The traffic is horrible because there are no freeways and 90% of the intersections are "controlled" by roundabouts, so it can take a long time to get to/from A to B.
If you know where you (and/or your spouse) will be working, send me a PM and I'll try to direct you to some of the areas that you might target.
You'll find that mums live pretty much everywhere in the city, which is both good and bad. Be prepared for your best friend to live on the other end of Doha :op
For info on the mums group in Doha, check out Doha Expat Mums and Kids at http://www.dohaexpatmumsandkids.com . You can't join that group until you are here in Doha, but it will give you an idea of what's going on right now. . .which is much less than it goes on during the school year.
