Help! What to bring to Doha?

By blaqdog

Hi everyone,

I'm moving to Doha in a months time and the truth is I have way too much things I could bring with me to Doha.

So to those of you already moved to Doha, what would you suggest I bring and not to bring?

I was thinking of taking my PC with me as well as my laptop, but I worry that the courier service will be a bit rough with the PC. Apart from the obvious such as my clothing, I'm not sure what else I should take or leave behind!

Thanks in advance.

Bring light coloured clothes, sunglasses, the weather here is always hot but cool from December to March. About your Laptop you defiently can bring it it's every imporatant i would say no for the PC there are many stores here don't worry if you have the mony you can buy a new one specialy that Qatar guarantee is better they can fix anything since you bought from Doha. When you come wait untill the sales and promotions and you will get a good deal :D and Welcome to Doha

Thanks guys. I'm looking forward to moving to Doha and making some new friends!Looks like I should leave my PC here then, as it is not very sophisticated.

I'd say, it depends how sophisticated your PC is. If you have anything like a supercomputer, you won't find such things in Doha. Most of the parts here in the IT sector are at least 6 months behind, and specific peripherals are not available. Actually most of the stuff is rubbish!

Everything is available in Doha, but when setting up a home it can be costly......my advice send over what ever you want (especially kitchen stuff and soft furnishings)......but if you have plenty of money...just buy here
