never been to oman but qatar today is developing so fast compared to when i arrived 3.5 yrs ago. many malls, cinemas, yes camping and duning too(our fav week end affair with a bunch of fellow duners),if you are into sports then there is the rugby club, or if u play golf we have that here , a group of friend here who are into kite surfing etc etc. so depends wat is it that would be of interest to you. of course there are some who says that doha is a boring place, well each to their own......

life's too short so make the most of it, you only live but once.......
