I have moved to doha a month bak and running to uk for two months to aviod its heat....doha is nice, u get everything, women are mostly treated in a special way..like u will get priority as a women in offices etc.... but there is one thing, its so difficult to keep kids happy and busy these days...no schools and no outdoor activity due to heat...u have to keep them inside the house whole day .... i live with two small kids...we go to corniche in the evening but frankly speaking i don even enjoy that.....dont forget to bring lot of indoor activity for ur kids.... yes hot tape water is one phenomenon u ought to deal with....i got good solution here...mixing geyser water :))
housemaids are availabale but you have to spend good money to get one initially...... shopping is crazy and real good, but how much can u shop after all...all the malls and shopping centre seem,sound and feel the same after some time....
traffic rush keeps u alert and alive...
good luck for your stay here....but ITS REALLY REALLY REALLY A WRONG TIME TO BE IN DOHA....i came here first time in january and i liked doha so much
