This is a complicated society but it can be very enriching. Try spending a weekend in the desert with a Qatari family, attending a Magilist, learning Arabic, learning to dive, going fishing and sailing with Qataris.

I have done all of these things. It is not easy to make the connections, you have to make the effort but like many other things in life, the more effort you make, the better the rewards.

I think you do most things here that you can do anywhere else. I admit, I miss mountains and climbing and greenery but there are plenty of good things here and some very fine people. Just go and out and find them.
