Which company has offered the position if you dont mind me asking? You may want to get the kids on a school waiting list too, they are soooooo long!! There are some good schools you could try: DESS, Park House, Doha College, Doha Montosori (forgive if spelt wrong).

Its quite a hard country to get used to and your wife will probably feel it worse than you but it does pass. Does your wife know you have to cover shoulders and knees whilst out in public?

If you will get a housing allowance, school fees, medical and flight home every year then the package is brill, grab it while you can! :-)
