Hi, I'm an Aussie living in Qatar! I just moved here close to two weeks ago. I joined up to ANZIQ, you just have to send an email to them and they will include you on group emails. I'd be interested in any catch ups. In the social forum, there was a guy organising a tour for a night in the desert, but I was too late to RSVP - I've read it's something you should do in the Middle East!
