I will be working for a local educational establishment, my wife following in a few months, also linked to education and although a fully furnished property is supplied, is there anything missing that you got there and thought - wish I brought that!?!?

Welcome to Doha.........

I hope that you have a wounderful time after coming to Doha. Its very cold over here at present and so I request you to carry some good quality warm clothes. As you mentioned that the company is providing eveything thing then I think you dont need to carry anything much. Above all you are already a member of QL so any problem in future there are many to people to advice you.

All the best.

Ya know what, I really didn't need a thing, my furnished villa was so well done. The only things I can't find here at a reasonable price are LOTS of book so I brought those. Music CDs the same.

Welcome to Doha! Well anyways aside from the usual stuff that you have to bring, clothes, toiletress, etc. don't forget to bring your passport, visa and everything. January would still be a very cold month then i suggest you've got to bring a jacket with you. It maybe up to 6 degree celsius.. but im not sure i am not from the weather center.. hehehe well anyways, goodluck and welcome to doha!

Hi, thanks, thats useful, yes all sorted and the company are supplying all the essentials to last a day or so, to give me time to find things. I have also heard about the driving, so once I get there and source the best places to rent a vehicle, I will keep my senses on the alert at all times.

Hi,

Welcome to Doha. i will not ask you to get ur passport, Ticket and Visa ... :-)

Well though you will get everything here, I would suggest you do get some warm clothing as it is winter season here (not so very cold though). Also get some food to last u for a day till u get to know the place around. that's all ...

Chandu.
