ANd for the record: if someone had told me before moving here that I would be expected to wear floor length skirts or pants, cover my hair, cover my arms, etc at all times, I would have had to weigh that as part of my decision to move here. It's why LOADS of expats don't move to Saudi, no matter the salary or position offered.

Qatar bills itself as more tolerant, liberal and open than other countries in the region-- but lately has been treating expats like we're all degenerates. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

End of rant :P oof!
