Hi,

I am yet another Australian moving permanently to Qatar in the next few months. Of course I have to try and bring all my belongings over, and am wondering what is the best way to ship them over. Any suggestions? Time isn't really an issue because I can send everything a month before I get there, but I would like to know the cheapest and most reliable way to ship my things.

Hey Jester,

I will be there for sure. My partner and I know a few people going from the football club.

Jester,

If you do a search on www.google.com.qa for group you should find them. I am not sure if they have a contact number unless it is on the website. I received a reply within 1-2 days so perhaps give it time?

Hey there,

I have recently moved to Doha from Sydney and found there is a group of Australian and New Zealand expats called ANZIQ. I suggest joining their group as they have get together etc. They have a ball coming up on the 26th Feb.

Good luck!

The rugby club is the best place to meet Aussies and Kiwis. Good social scene there. Welcome to Doha mate.
