New to Doha

Hi folks, I'm moving to Doha on the 7th January, just looking for a bit of advice on what sort of things I could do for entertainment while I'm there.

I'm interested in trying out new sports and golf, also wondered where the best places to go to watch the English football, also anywhere that would be likely to show Scotland internationals and the 6 nations rugby?

Cheers

Iain,

The Doha Rugby Club shows all the big rugby games as you would expect, so I would head there for the 6 Nations- or any bar/pub.

If you are interested in doing something active yourself, Qatar National Sports Day is on the 12th February and one main event is the Dolphin Energy Doha Dash. It's a community fun run at Doha's Losail Circuit. If you're interested then do check out the website; www.dohadash.com

Imack, so now you know where to go and you know what kind of people you will encounter in Qatar. :P. I am not joking, sadly.

Yep QDCL said it right,

Join the Doha Rugby club to play and watch Rugby.

Doha Golf club to practice and play Golf.

More or less all bars show EPL matches.

Most 5 star hotels have clubs and bars.

Jiane you are an idiot.

There is a gold club here so you can learn golf.

There is a rugby club so you can play and watch 6 nations rugby.

There are many bars here that show English football in English so take your pick.
