Heay,

What a coincidence! I just finished my studies in Australia and going back home (Al Khor community) next month :). Al Khor is a great place to live, I've been livin there since 1998. We've got several club houses with heaps of facilities like gym, swimming pool, basketball & tennis court.. and much more. The community also has its own supermarket, hospital (it's huge!!), nurseries...etc. I've met a few Aussie teachers there in Al Khor International school (also inside the compound). In the weekends people usually go to Doha city.. which takes only 25-30 minutes by car. The community also provides shuttle buses inside the compound, and shopping buses that takes you to different places/stops in Doha city. Hope this helps :)
