Devansh (the one who got the characters of devas - I guess).

Dont expect to find night clubs or sheesha corners like Dubai in Qatar. You should have got some idea from the answer of Biju. You will enjoy all those things in Dubai and spending a lot of money but here you will save that money but still there are lots of activities here. It will be better to come and find out.

You can convert your UAE DL to a Qatari DL (You may go to the Traffic Department once you reach Doha and get it done)

There are lots of sharing accommodation facilities which you can even search from this site (Classifieds - Housing).

You will be able to get a lot of friends here even from your own country and locality.
