As soon as you will work in the Pearl it is better to look accomodation in Al Dafna because:

- Clean Area

- No Traffic

- Near Distance

- Near to City Center

Thanks

Bring your stuff with you. I moved from Saudi to Qatar. Cost only a couple of thousand to ship.

StarGate your answer is excellent.....if anyone cant deal with the traffic the best place you can go is stay inside your house and don't go out. or stay away from place where supermarket, bars, hospitals, malls, or business center are. I can suggest you can live outside doha or between border of any middle east country. like country side, forrest or mountains but they dont have it here, so go somewhere else.

West Bay - little traffic here, near City Centre Mall for cinema, hotels nearby with bars, and very near the Pearl. Downsides - lots of construction, expensive and nowhere is within walking distance (not even a little shop).

I checked on google maps, Al Sadd and Al Nasr seem too far from my office.

My office is on the Pearl, would be hard to get there every morning?

ANy other suggestions?

Thanks a million!

Thank you so much for your quick responses!

Well what I am looking for is a 1 bedroom appartment.

An area with cinemas, beaches, bars, malls would be good! however, cannot deal with traffic here :)
