Dubai has so much to offer for children. Watermarks are opened all year round as opposed to Doha. Many beautiful parks, beach parks, open beaches. Nice amusement parks, indoor playgrounds. Majority of restaurants offer play area for little ones. Kidzania...children's city

I can go and on.

Been here a full month and yes they have a few indoor playgrounds for children but seriously over populated and still looking.

The one thing I did notice however is that Qatari children are much more polite and educated than UAE children.

Salaam, hello.

We are looking to relocated to Qatar. And reading this post, I have some questions:

First off what is this mind set or Qatari mentality many of you are talking about?

Second, what type of entertainment do you find in UAE but not Qatar? Are you mainly talking about clubs, drinking, etc ... or are there also no family oriented activites too? I only ask since we are a Muslim family; so we don't drink, club or gamble. But we are looking activities for children and also Islamic based ones. Are there any? Thanks!

Dubai has a Much better social life than doha . I've been there like 7-8 times & believe me when I say this the mindset out there the mentality is totally different from here. Dubai definitely has more fun , doha is more laidback & can get very boring, besides you can spend/save anywhere you want. Its entirely upto the Individual.

How can anyone say that people will be spending more in Dubai, rent is less, prices of almost everything except for khuboos and petrol is less compared to Doha, and savings depends on individual lifestyles.

out here, the rent is very expensive than in dubai. Out there, in 3000 dhirams per month, u can get a flat in a decent high rise building. Here its atleast 5-7000 riyals..... also as against the 10,000 salary bracket for Family status in qatar, outa there, its just 4000......

u dont save anything in dubai coz the options of spending is huge out there.... so here, u wont get tempted to spend more than u earn.... send more to ur home country...

More income: Doha

More fun and a not-so-bad income: Dubai.
