The school in Al Khor is good, well-equipped and has a happy staff. In fact everything for the expat community is well-equipped and there's a very nice club with a lot of social activities, besides lots of home-partying. Neverthless, it has a sleepy feel which can irritate and some of the teens, I gather, get a bit disgruntled. Playing the singles game might be tricky. Imagine a very orderly English suburb with no pub and a 60 minute drive to the nearest bar or off-licence, but with plenty of dance classes and bridge tournaments and stuff. Many people love it, some can't stand it.
