Qatar Newbie

I am due to start in Qatar for an Investment Bank at start of July. Any advice/friendships most welcome. What are the pros and cons of living over there for 1 year or so? I am from North West England about 10 miles from Liverpool (St Helens)

Qatar is a small and quite nice a place to live in with 15% local & 85% expats... Except for the crazy drivers... and some a little odd rules... But definitely being here it gives us opportunity to get to know a entirely different culture... Thats amazing... and they have a lot of traditions and history to see and understand...!! I am now here for almost 6 months... But for sure I wont stay more than another year.... Thats my personal choice... but there are many people who came here 20 - 30 yrs ago and have stayed back since then... All depends you see!! If you are coming in July be ready for the heat... and a walk through the King Sized hand dryer....lol... But people are saying its gonna become humid too... well, have to wait to know...!!

Dont worry .... Just come over...
