I know some people who are very happy in Al Khor. I live in Dukhan, a compound in a similar situation being outside of Doha. Of course there are some frustrations, like getting deliveries but generally I love the sense of community we have. Also, your children will be living amongst their school friends, being such a safe environment means that socially, both children and adults are rarely lonely. Very good luck in your move, I hope you will be happy in Al Khor.
