Moving to Dukhan Summer 2011
By Moving_2011 •
Hi,
I fully appreciate that this question is most probably already somewhere on this site, but I cannot find any recent posts relating to what I might expect when I move to Dukhan from the UK during the summer this year.
I am moving to work as a teacher, and would really appreciate any advice on:
a) What to expect on arrival
b) What to bring
c) What life is like in general
d) Anywhere it is acceptable to sunbathe! As it would seem a shame not to take advantage of the weather... :)
Many thanks!
PS I also wasn't sure whether to post this as a question of forum...hence it appears in both - sorry.
...For taking the time to reply.
ace.auteur - I figured it would probably be too hot to commence tanning immediately! :)
crisjr - have read the school website inside out! will check out the qp one however, thank you.
I just thought somewhere like this would be a place to find some practical advice about moving and life in Dukhan...I do appreciate any insight!
Thanks for the welcomes :)
