Hi Everyone - Small Intro!

Hi Everyone!

I’ve not long moved over to Doha and now that I’ve found somewhere to live and call ‘home’, I thought I should begin making a life for myself as well!

Through work, I got the chance to move over from Scotland at the end of February so I thought why not? …good life experience and all that…blah, blah, blah! I’ve been to the Middle East before so I had an idea of what I was getting into.

From reading previous posts etc, I’m under the impression that it’s quite hard to stick it in Doha – therefore, some advice on good things to do/places to go (anything from eating out, socialising, best cinema(s), internet cafes, sports clubs, gyms, pubs/clubs, … whatever… anything) would be much appreciated so feel free to leave posts and/or get in touch!

Thanks in Advance!

PMSL I am wondering why you say avoid the Gulf Cinema. I take it it hasn't changed much.

Welcome. Just browse past posts. All the info is there. Since food is a matter of taste name the type and you'll get recommendations.

City Center cinemas are the best. Avoid Gulf Cinema.

Once again, welcome.

I'm not there yet.

Should be in a few months.

Are you in the oil and gas industry?

The best way to get on, on this forum is to get involved.

You will find out a lot of info and hopefully find some friends.

Good luck and all that.
