What should I bring with me?
Hello there - I am relocating from UK to Doha to work in education. Please could anyone give me advice as what to bring with me - anything that I might not be able to get in Qatar?
What clothes should I bring bearing in mind that I will be working in a professional capacity?
Any advice gratefully recieved!!
thanks
bRING BOOKS AND RESOURCES !!! ANYTHING RELATED to teaching and education!
I'm a teacher myself, and it is very hard to bring and research.
Each year, I have to buy from outside qatar resources that I might use in my classroom.
You can find almoust all the things/clothes/make-ups which are available abroad...but the medicines here are kind of different and some of them you can get only with prescription...so make sure if you use sleeping pills or injections (for calcium, etc.) bring some with you!
Books..bring books, yes you can get them here but they are very expensive. (and not current)
You will need some warmer items in the winter.
I find it hard to buy stockings (panti-hose) here in Doha. Perhaps I'm picky, but there's not a great variety.
Outside is not airconditioned .... yet ;o)
Right now you will need a light jacket / cardy for mornings and evenings, but within a month or so it'll be at the back of the wardrobe!
Everything is available here, but for period ur medicines and necessary things you can carry while travelling
Thanks for the replies!!
Another quick question - is everywhere air conditioned or do I bring Summer Suits? Do I need coats at all?
OXO Cubes :o)
as UkEngQatar has explain well in detail. every thingis avaiable here...
Pls do not forget to bring ur wife with you.It is very much importanat.G/f is very expensive here.
Dont forget the BISTO Granules!!!
Cant find them anywhere!!!
Also bring shed loads of "patience" to cope with the initial shock at the amount of beaureacracy!!!!
Apart from that im sure you will have a fantastic (and very safe) time - everything is available as the previous thread suggests- welcome to Doha
Hi Tuds,
Technically every thing is available here that you will need. However considering that the exchange rate from pound to QR is low. I would suggest get you work clothes (I mean suit or Trousers , blouses) from the UK.
Other femenine things, you should also get from super drug or any other store. Cheaper in the UK.
Cant think of any thing else at the monet will add more if some thing comes to mind..
O yes dont forget the Jaffa cakes..
