Active social group to meet other expats?
By RobertDowneyJnr •
Hi everyone, I'm new to Qatar and am really keen to meet some nice people, while I find my feet. I was wondering which groups are active, it seems in August every group is going into hibernation...like is there a British or even Western expat group still going?...or mountain climbing groups....Can anyone point in the right direction? Much appreciated!
After Eid you will meet every one cause every one do stay in .
All the best in QATAR
I've been here a bit longer than you Robert, and I'm stumped too. I know folks from work, and that about sums up my social life. If you meet a really active group of people, i'd love to hear about it.
If you want to go climbing, the place to really do it is Oman. I've heard really good things about it.
after Eid, all the social gatherings will picking up again. Hangon in there Robert. In the mean time buy a marhaba book (if you not already have it) and have a look through. There are things to do and gathering to go listed in that book.
Actually WK can only count till One Thousand, Seven Hundred & Twenty Three :P
MJ CIA says 840,000 :(

why WK, how many have you counted? ;)
2 million??
You sure you landed in Doha :-/
No mountains in Qatar. There's barely even a hill!
maybe when you get back, anyone else have any suggestions?
In a city of 2 million, there must be something else going on...
just about ready to leave Doha in a week's time for my holiday! :D
Oh dear not ideal, thats a whole month and a half..
Surely, they're must be some thing for ppl like me who have just arrived.
Any young-ish expats in a similar boat to me reach out..
even if its just meeting for coffee in the souk. My work doesn't provide much in the way of getting to know people (atleast not right now)...and i'm sure there are cool like-minded ppl out there :)
....try after Ramadan...
Wrong time Robert. Wait till the middle of September.
Somewhere around the 10th, i think. ;)
