Doha is better than Dubai
By indigo_res •
I am now fully convinced that Doha is much better place than Dubai. A recent change from Doha to Dubai and back to Doha has made me wiser. Daily spending 3 to 5 hours of your precious life driving is utter stupidity. Paying a country’s infrastructure development through Salik (road tax), parking fees and housing tax are nonsense as you will never be part of that country. You feel like a stupid when you need to pay for even cancellation of your family’s visa. May be Doha have lesser night clubs, no means for quenching your immoral thirst or lack the tallest building in the world but it’s were of no use to me. I love to be in Doha.
aa
hopefully, i'd be able to see the beauty and good things in Doha. thanks for the author of this forum and also to everyone who shares their views.
Despite that Doha is still in better shape in terms of traffic.......it is moving in Doha while you crawl on Dubai roads for hours during peak working hours.
I am with you kmbahamed.....
Doha needs improvement in
infrastructure (roads, street lights) and public transportation....
Awarded vodafone to compete with Qtel :)
When you reach Qatar you changed your nationality, you were Emirati in Dubai??, We are also suffering traffic problem but not like Dubai. But soon Qatar will be worst than Dubai, believe or not it is true that every day about 500 new cars are registering in Traffic and all it coming to Qatar roads. Just bring a letter from company your car is at home.
Doha is defenitely better choice against dubai,yet doha has to improve in infrastructure and public transportation.
Qatar Government is generous by not blocking VOIP,also it has allowed a private telecom, not giving unreasonable fines and many other things
The place where u belong to is the best

Native country is better than any country
i like where i am...in this case DOHA
...BUT philippines is my HOME
yup i agree! Doha is a better and great place...
lets hope it stays that way... & rents keep coming down !
I really love Doha but...Dubai is a better than Doha? Common! You are a bunch of hypocrats!
Hello,
After Living in Dubai for 12 years, I recently moved to Doha. Initially I was a bit reluctant to come here but after arriving here I have realised that I probably took the best decision of my life.
Life in Dubai - it sucks hard. Endless number of hours spent in traffic,not to mention difficulties in finding parking off course if you are lucky to reach your destination in one piece thanks to the madness which people show while driving on dubai roads.
Never knew life could be so stress free also,reaching office in 15 minutes,not having to wait for taxis for hours is truly a luxury.
Dubai used to be a good place once but not anymore.
"But the best place

why do some people can't resist inserting some religious stuff...geesh...
yes, i'm looking at you tnaeem....

due to Allah's house been situated in Mecca and Medina; Looking from a global point of view (macro level) where all communities can live with their own lifestyles (dubai/doha is best, safe havens for all).
May be Riyadh (being cosmopolitan & capital city) a better place to stay and it is better than Doha but again only for muslims due to several restrictions only on Expat population (Except for Americans - ARAMCO).
Hard-work of millions give benefits to a few Royal families (Saud - Watch Forbes list of all richest from Royal family).
VICTOR BUTT did u ever visited saudia??????
i have been there for 12 yrs.....n i can say best place in middle east to live.....
Saudia is better than doha even there is no night clubs ,even there is many ristrictions but SAUDIA is da best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While Doha is nice enough it would have to be Dubai for me, but compared to other places in the world neither have got much going for them really.
Dohahaha as they say!
eat another pie
never been to Dubai, but i like to compare Doha with someplace else i'd been... Tokyo.
It was one of the most busiest place i'd been and its daily routines makes me nuts!!
Need i say more?
I Like Doha, for obvious reasons ... at least for now :D
too much unfinished stuff, |Big sandpit
Theres Dubai. But then theres Doha. Then theres New York and London etc...
But the best place
Is with ALLAH, in our HOUSE made by HIM. Free house, tax free, no salary, money for free, no need to save, no need to spend, you will already have everything.
But thats later, subhanallah we live in a city like Doha.
Dubai 50%, Doha 30%
Saudi Arabia (total censored 0%); If you dare to open your mouth you will be deported to your country without your passport...Mr Shajiv
My suggestion is whoever wants to compare Dubai and Doha, just visit saudi once and feel the freedom you are enjoying in these disputed cities.........
Dubai Vs Doha has pros and Cons depending on ones lifestyle, standard of living and priorities in Life.
I could count at least hundred good and bad in both the cities.
But it is all your destiny which takes you where you are suppose to be...
man... the government should see this page... they will be proud.
Dubai is not a place to stay if you want a relaxed and laid-back kind of lifestyle.
I agree with all the traffic and stuff, but it depends on where you live and work. But then again, have you seen Salwa Road on a busy day?
Dont get me wrong, I like Doha, but I don't love it.
-PS. Please dont tell the Immigration Dept.
in few days now i will be living in Qatar...in dubai the cost of living now is high,garbage you can see everywhere,salik (toll fee) in which it didn't help to lessen the traffic and as usual transportation is very hard...with all the good comments i've read about Qatar i know i wont regret exchanging Dubai to Qatar...I hope Qatar government will maintain all these positive better living not only for Qataris but also for expats..
I was planning on working in Dubai but landed up here. Good thing I didn't have much time to think too or I would've changed my mind (as in I would have chickened out). But, as they say, windows of opportunities can open anywhere but won't stay open for long. Researched company, applied for the job, went for interview and got it. Bosses must have thought I was crazy. Now looking around me and at Dubai, Qatar suits me better...and so many new things to learn. Very challenging ... but fun! :0)

i love doha...
but wish to visit dubai for a week or 2 :P
I love Doha than Dubai, safer, better and peaceful living.
You could always go for the Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies...
Dub - AAyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :(
Doh - Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah :)
I also agree that Doha is better than Dubai. Maybe you can get more night life in Dubai, but otherside you loose your hardly earned savings. But here in Qatar you can enjoy ur life with a limit. I think that is enough.
PM said: I love Doha ...
There's no place I would rather live right now :-)
Hell No! you don't love Doha, until you visit my Confession Booth and stop out foxing my invitations..... I'm tired of looking at the frame portrait of the voluminous blonde Lebo-lisa (Monalisa) inside my booth.
D for Doha. It's the city.
Live and let live...
I agree too..Doha is better than Dubai, coz I can save money here which I couldnt have in Dubai.If there are Rock Shows here in Doha then it will be even better.
Only been here a short while but I like the friendly feel (which I wasnt expecting) of this small place.
Paying Salik (road tax), parking fees and housing tax...etc is crazy!!!
There are even stories about how people have to drive around for 3-4 hours to find a parking place....and then pay parking fees on top of that.
despite of some negative stuff you'll find here in Doha, the positive still outweighs it all...
indeed, Doha is much better than Dubai...

There are much more activities and places to go to
i was in dubai for 6-months and i dont feel the beauty i heard from everybody about it. Fom me, qatar feeds my heart with joy coz of the courteousness of the qataris. Long live QATAr
though there is often a feel of an emptiness in Doha, it doesn't feel suffocated like Dubai...
I love your philosophy...if u ever run dry...i will give you some irish fluid...so you can carry on waxing lyrical
I like Doha Better than Dubai yeahhh..
Change Your Attitude, You'll Change Everything.
Agree with U..
the first mistake people always make is comparing cities (no matter where).
as long as you've got a job, friends and alcohol to numb the pain then all is good right???
I LOVE QATAR...THE SAFEST PLACE AROUND THE WORLD..THAT'S WHAT I BELIEVE !!!
i agree wid u coz Dubai is an open port were we can see everything openly and prostitutes are in every streets,so compared to Dubai Qatar is far far better and hope Allah keeps Qatar going like this.Moreover I have heard that in Dubai there are less savings coz the houses are very expensive but in Doha we can atleast save our earnings in one or the other way.
Better alot more better than Dubai.
I love living in Doha - wouldn't swap it for Dubai. It's great to go and visit -great shopping, going to nightclubs, bars and restaurants BUT it's always a relief to come back here.
GOOD 4 U..
THAT'S THE SPIRIT***
now one problem with dubai no money....hahhahaha
a year or two back i would have disagreed but not now. I fully agree that life in doha is better than dubai but as long as u can visit dubai occassionally to unwind!!!!
