@Muhammad - Indeed. Always happy to listen to folks but ultimately it's how the wife and I feel which is why we need to come out and experience it first hand.

A question for anyone reading this however. In Malaysia the culture there seems to be to eat out a lot because food is so cheap it's almost more expensive to prepare/cook food at home than to eat out in a cafe etc. So wondering what it's like in Doha because it seems that living costs, food costs etc. are all really high due to 90% of food being imported. So what do the locals do? Is it really that expensive to eat out in the local non-tourist places?
