qatar is like dubai and saudi combined... the environment and lifetyle is like dubai except for pork..it's not available in the open market...ras lafan is very far from the city (2 hrs driving) so if you want to go church you've got to have your own car... basketball & tennis courts are available in the accommodation compound in ras laffan... qatar is strict during ramadan.. liquors are available here but you should have license in order to buy...
