Hi Garydixon, I work in Dukhan but I don't live there, so I drive to work daily. At present there is a massive road work from Shahaniya to Dukhan (approx 40 km stretch). I used to spend 45 mins from and to Doha but because of the diversions, I'm spending an hour each way. I'm sure you and your family will love Dukhan as they have very nice facilities already mentioned above. Others not mentioned are the Dukhan Recreation Center that has state of the art gym with jacuzzi and sauna...Tennis (outdoor), basketball and volleyball courts (indoor and outdoor), football field are also available. Goodluck!
