Although walking on the streets is not much fun, there are some lovely beaches in Qatar. Zikreet is beautiful for a day out and dogs can run freely there. I just meant that people don't like it and there are some places where people will complain. It just means adapting and finding some good places near where you live. Dukhan, Al Khor and Messaid are better because the compounds are much more tolerant and you generally have more space. Its a 3 minute drive to the beach for me in Dukhan and I have a big garden for them as well. It just depends on whether you want to live and work in Doha. The schools in these compounds are all great.
