Moving to Dukhan Summer 2011

Hi,

I fully appreciate that this question is most probably already somewhere on this site, but I cannot find any recent posts relating to what I might expect when I move to Dukhan from the UK during the summer this year.

I am moving to work as a teacher, and would really appreciate any advice on:

a) What to expect on arrival
b) What to bring
c) What life is like in general
d) Anywhere it is acceptable to sunbathe! As it would seem a shame not to take advantage of the weather... :)

Many thanks!

PS I also wasn't sure whether to post this as a question of forum...hence it appears in both - sorry.

...For taking the time to reply.

ace.auteur - I figured it would probably be too hot to commence tanning immediately! :)

crisjr - have read the school website inside out! will check out the qp one however, thank you.

I just thought somewhere like this would be a place to find some practical advice about moving and life in Dukhan...I do appreciate any insight!

Thanks for the welcomes :)

a) radars, camels on the way to dukhan

b) clothes, water, food for survival

c) quiet life in dukhan; it is far away from the city...it is like a mini town...no bar

d) there is a beach there...u can take sunbathe if no one is around...normally the police patrols over there...if they are comfortable then no problem
