LOL - That made me laugh - you know my hubby is more desperate to get out than me - and I AM THE ONE WHO IS RESTRICTED!!!! lol - but tbh - Saudi has never bothered me the way it does some people, although I can very much understand why some people struggle here! And the freedom of Qatar compared to Saudi would be lush!!!! Beaches, no abaya, bikini on some beaches I understand?????? oh and the odd tipple of alcohol! ALL selling points! ;-)
What worried me is the job - the school hubby is at atm, is ok, as in we have good friends here and he does enjoy his job - it is mainly the lack of professional development, promotion opportunities and the facilities for the kids that really bother us - the GES looks to be far far superior in those areas - am just a bit panicked as one of the comments I have read said if you are planning to work at GES then RUN! A little concerning when you plan to uproot your entire family and make such a huge change!
Our motivation to move overseas 2 years ago was, well money obviously, but also to travel, I have always wanted to see everything in the world i possibly can so the thought of moving to another country is a good thing (in fact last November we drove from Abha, KSA to Dubai, just for the adventure! :-) ) So would love to experience Qatar as well, just hope the job is the right decision!!!!!
