Best Area to Live
Is there an area - or perhaps several areas - in Doha that are considered by many people to be the best in which to live?
This is not just about renting houses/apartments. I am thinking perhaps one or more areas in Doha will have a combination of the most interesting malls, cafes, clubs, and scenary for relaxing. And usually one area in a city has the best atmosphere - an easy-going feeling. In some cities this area will be near a university, a good mall, or perhaps an area for artists and handicrafters.
For reference, I found a good interactive map of Doha's areas at <http://europe.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?country=qa&city=Doha>. Thanks.
Thanks for the information about best area to live, for more details visit: http://www.capitaloneqa.com/
I live in Al Sadd - but crazy traffic....please hurry up and finish D Ring Road!
I'm also living in Al Saad and after 2 weeks my impression is that it really seems central to everything... bookstore, cafe's, MegaMart, etc... definitely a decent area to live in!

Focused. Driven. Certain.
I'm near from Filipino school QU hostel.
yes Adorman, I live behind one of the hotel in Al Sadd. where you at??
Everybody is right Everybody is wrong, it depend where we stand.
I agree Al Saad is cool despite traffic jams....
I think Al Sadd is cool place.
Mila really ??so we are neighbours :)
Al Saad is one of the best location if ur up to nearer area of restaurant, shopping mall, clinic, etc....the only bad side is worst traffic down there most of the time!!!
I vote for Al Sadd as I live in Al Sadd. hehehe.. is the best area in town. Close to everywhere as strategically in the middle of Doha city. Near to Hamad hospital/doha Clinic, near to megamart/giant, ramada signals for all restaurants and caffees, banks, al nasser street for all little shops.. ladies salons, tailor, cinema in Royal Plaza.

Deedee, an apartment is being provided in company housing. I don't yet know where that apartment is, though.
I was hoping to learn where a good area would be to relax and entertain oneself during evenings and on off days. Then I hoped the apartment would be close to that area. I agree with you; I'm not keen to be stuck in traffic for several hours each day.
is "the best area" to live in my opinion. Traffic here is horrible so you want to be close to those places or you will waste a lot of your day stuck in jams.
Old airport--close to airport/ good shopping but horrible traffic at all times of the day
Al Sadd-- middle of town/ good shopping, but again bad traffic jams
Are you looking for a happening part of town, or peace and quiet? your "best area" depends a lot on what you are looking for.
I'm checking out that Wikimap now. It's a great map but doesn't work so well on a slow internet connection.
By chance, does anyone here know where (in Doha?) the Fluor Corporation has its apartment complex? Thxs.
al sadd area is also nice and in the middle of the city.
Al Sadd area...near everywhere
www.wikimapia.org thats all you need to know...
go to that site and go to doha... then search for what you are looking for and if it has been labeled you will find it... if it hasnt ... then ask some one to label it for you ... then search it again...

just hanging out and watching dvd's with helen keller... kind of a quite night.
Can you give me some map directions to the Old Airport Area? It doesn't appear on the Mapquest map I mentioned. Also, is the old airport still there? If yes, can you enter - walk in - the area? Thanks, again.
Old airport is the best area to live in. It has everything except for a petrol
station lol. We have the airport next to us (how cool is that), a mall,
2 shopping centers FFC and LuLu, cinemas whatever u need is probably
in the Old Aiport Area.
It's always the small things that make big differences.
