I am currently working in Abu Dhabi-UAE and have been offered a job in Doha, just wanted to get more information on schooling (is there a waiting list), housing (I am ok with 2 Bed or small villa) and other living expense. I have two children and my son is 4, I would like to enroll him to one of   international schools in September.   Advice on this would be really be appreciated  Thank you  Luke

i only can say schooling is waiting list here... popular school like DESS or American School are very hard to get in. At the moment DESS only take british passport holder kids to go into their waiting list.

if you moving in to Doha now ... my suggestion enroll your kid into nursery first (even good nursery also waiting list at presents :-)), i can't suggest any nursery for your son because you don't know where you going to live.
