I feel Doha is nothing compared to Dubai. It will take at least 20 years for Doha to develop like Dubai. I have lived in UAE for years and feel Doha is a boring place. One of the reasons is lack of proper transportation. Though the petrol price is cheaper compared to Dubai, the taxi fare is much higher. I have read posts saying you have to enjoy life here yes you can do that if you have your own transportation and earning a salary of QAR 20,000 or above per month. I don't think an average person earns that much. I dread the thought of going out when I compare the taxi fare to that of UAE. People are attracted by the high salary offered in Qatar. But sorry to say it is nothing compared to the high cost of living here especially the transportation charges etc.
