Villas not in compounds - don't know, but more of a chance outside Doha, and cheaper too. There are estate agents here who'll try to fix you up. Immediately West, you get Al Rayyan which is reputed to be for qataris only.
A lot of 'wives' here work in teaching and such like so I don't think there's any restriction on women working per se.
Incidentally, all my Al Khor comments above and elsewhere were about 'The Community'. If you're not working at Ras Lafan, it might not be easy to get in there. Al Khor proper is pleasant and quiet but I don't think many foreign professionals live there.
