The Pearl Traffic

Quincy14
By Quincy14
I am new to Doha (with husband no kids) and would appreciate your advice. We are deciding on an apartment to rent in either the Pearl or West Bay. We hear that the traffic can be bad especially rush hours from the Pearl. Can anyone give an indication of approx time it would take to commute from the pearl to crown Plaza business park area during rush hours. Or would it be advisable to live in West Bay instead?

Fair comment Molten Metal - I guess there maybe a tendency to feel like you are wasting life in the car rather than experiencing other things.

Quincy, Why do you worry about traffic delays , use your time productively inside your car. Like read newspaper, cut & eat an apple , make shopping list for the weekend, think new ideas on how to eleminate stiching clothes ... it may may be glued together without sewing , we can save thread etc ................

These are the areas we favour. Just need some idea of how snarly the traffic can be from and to the Pearl ideally from someone who already lives there and has persinal experience.

why you decided to rent this 2 places? why don't you think to rent other place where not traffic? where is your office location?

Not sure. You can check on Google maps - put in the destination and the start point (but be sure to check at different times of the day). I'd go with West Bay. I've heard the Pearl is really bad.
