UAE or Qatar???

Hello...Does anyone have any experience with living in Qatar and the UAE? I may be getting job offers in both Abu Dhabi and Doha. Anyone able to share experiences with both places? I'll take hearsay with a grain of salt...any advice will be apprecieated. (I'm a 40 ish single male from the US, for what that's worth.)

My big questions I guess are: are prices of non-housing items similar? Is one society more socially conservative than the other?

But any insight that will help me make this decisiont would be great.

Abudhabi is the better choice. Living Costs are similar but quality of life is much better in Abudhabi.
