Thanks acchabaccha. So far so good. Like the quiet & clean environment already. The culture is quite similar to UAE except UAE is too crowded & congested now. Would love to make Qatar my home for the love of beaches. Do you have any idea which ministery to approach for information on trade license to open a home-based business?

The contact details: Ohho, acchabaccha thanks for pointing out to that. I thought a serious investor may want to send me a message on this portal for my contact details. Regardless, here is my number: 33495788. [It's oreedoo (sp?). Very bad service as I'm not receiving SMSs. Lodged a complaint 30 hours ago but nothing has been done so far. Is vodaphone better).

As for business, are there any retail shops here in Qatar for Pakistani ladies fashion dresses? If Pakistani ladies living in Qatar find what they need right here in Qatar at good prices, they would buy from here itself instead of bringing from Pakistan (for any unexpected, sudden occasions or even everyday casuals). Hence, the point of opening a retail shop here.

SHAN recipe mix: Yes I saw LULU centre selling them at 3.75 QR. Mine are priced at 3QR each :) (But just 4-5 boxes for now)

Furthermore, I am also an MBA with 10+ years of work experience in UAE (was brought up & educated there). So would also consider any decent job opportunities available in Qatar for single Pakistani girls. Are there any Pakistani girls working & living in Qatar independently? Any info on that?
