Hi there,

I have been in Doha for just over 2 months now and I too was afraid of the driving here as back in the UK people know how to drive..... well most people!

I have used a driver for the time I have been here and as stated already it can be quite expencive but sometimes you have no choice.

I have not found the thought of driving to get any easier since being here but its something I will HAVE to do and you if you want to have any freedom.

My children start school in a week and their school is not near our villa so that will be something that is very hard for me to do.

I wish you well for your start in Doha and if I can be of any more help dont hesitate in sending me a PM. :-)
