You definitely will not want to venture outside until the end of summer. (Be warned: it is still HOT HOT HOT) at the end of October, so the "end of summer" does not correlate with the beginning of the school year.)
You've received some good suggestions with respect to the indoor play areas at the malls. Gympanzee is another good one; it's in Villagio.
One thing you'll definitely want to do ASAP upon arriving in Doha is to join Doha Mums. We have heaps of activities going on (an average of 80-90 per month during the school year). The website needs to be updated (bad me!), but we actually do have a fair bit going on this summer as well. Check out the "Activities" menu for more details. http://www.dohamums.com/activities/index.html
The New Arrivals Coffee is always a great place to start, and you're more than welcome to bring your girls. We'll continue to hold our events during Ramadan, but the events that are normally held in public venues may be held in members' homes instead.
Once you attend an event then you'll be able to join our private website, where you'll have access to our complete calendar,the private forum, classified ads, etc. You'll also be able to attend our members-only parties for Halloween, Christmas, and Easter, which are loads of fun.
