Doha rated among the top 10 cities to live in

Some good news for Doha City lovers. Doha has been rated among the top 10 cities to live in the MENA region.

Qatar’s capital came in 6th place overall out of 20 cities from 14 different countries in the region, results from the latest edition of the study conducted by online recruitment agency Bayt.com and market researchers YouGov show.

The survey was based on respondent’s attitudes to dozens of different factors under the themes of economic; labor rights; environmental; standard of living; socio-cultural; entrepreneurship; sports, arts and recreation.

Nearly 64% of people interviewed said that they are very or somewhat happy in their city of residence, while 14% were somewhat unhappy or not happy at all.

Meanwhile, three cities from United Arab Emirates made it to the top five ahead of Doha - Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah. [Doha News]
