new to Doha
HI
I am sure this is typed alot, but we are moving to Qatar sometime this spring. We have two children , ages 6 and 1. I basically need to know great neighbourhoods to choose close to schools and shopping, and parks. Is there a way to join a group that has other ex pat families/mothers that can be of support to newcomers and so the children can play together? I am Canadian and my husband is French.
Thank you
look up doha mums dohamums.com they usually have christmas and halloweens parties and weekly get togethers. it's nice for the kids
There are lot's of compound here in Qatar.. try checking the Al-Fardan Gardens 2&5 @ Abu Sidra Area, 3&4 then Majdoleen Gardens @ Abu Hamour Area or the Porto Arabia Tower 2 at The Pearl.
Try to call Danat Qatar Office for more information @ tel no. 4440-8468
Good Luck and Welcome...
Generally your employer provides housing and you don't have too much to say about the area. But if not, you are better off finding a place near your child's school.
