We are a professional couple getting ready to move to Doha from the US. Our kids are off of our pay roll (hooray) and on their own. We are footloose and fancy free, looking forward to our first expat adventure in 20 years. We want to make the most of our time in Doha, meet new people, make new friends, take in the culture, enjoy the beauty of the region, travel, and simply have a good time. Our plan is to spend our kids inheritance :)and work and travel and enjoy life as much as we can, while we can.

Could you recommend
1) a well managed, upscale, cosmopolitan, friendly and outgoing compound to live hassle free?

2) if the place is not furnished, can you recommend a place to buy nice furniture and accessories? Or do you recommend that we ship from the US?

3) recommend a few places to take in local arts and culture?

Thank you
