In doha the sighting of anything other than geckos is rare but will increase as urbanisation continues and the reptiles become familar with the new habitat. There are several excellent books on snakes of Arabia, however, you are only likelty to see them if your adventurous and in the desert. A few venture into grassy areas but they are generally the harmless ones. Scorpians are poorly research locally and here generally hide by day and are quite small so are hard to see. Using a UV light at night is a good way to find them as they are flourescent!! pretty cool. Again more liklely to see them in rural areas or on the beach.
On spiders your likely to find a few harmeless fella around the house, but dont be to hasty to get risd of them as they keep the flying insects in check, same as gecko. In the desert the camel spider is a mean bugger if you get bitten but then you have to be pretty thick as their "cave" and web is pretty obvious.

Without imagination their is nothing!
I have geckos in the house occasionally but they are pretty cute.
No roaches or ants especially if you throw food away properly, clean up spilt drinks and all the usual hygenie stuff.
There isn't enough standing water for there to be too many mosquitos either.
I totally agree with u , no creepier place in town infested like Qube !!!
The Roaches n Lizards are a welcome after tht place :P
No worries, habibi, an occasional gecko and a few ants.

Big huge cockroaches. Ew.
Go to Qube, heaps of creepy crawlies there.
