Are there any online communities of people living & working in Qatar?

I really wouldn''t bother if i were you.........you will never get a decent answer out of any of them ...whatever their nationality........
Doha seems to corner the market in incompetent travel agents...... such gems include being unable to recommend any holiday destinations.....wildly misquoting air fares....not booking our hotel rooms when travelling on a package to France.......omitting to mention you need return ticket or onward journey when travelling to certain places and on and on and on.......
mind you at least if you are communicating with these morons by email rather than face to face .....you won''t be tempted as i was to smash up their offices with my bare hands...!!!
good luck..... |

| Are the slums of Riyadh better than the vistas of Doha ? |

| A vista is a view or a prospect. |

the views of the corniche aren't bad.....once provided a flat where you could see the sea/corniche/harbour etc....that was nice....other than that....the views are of roads/traffic and bland blocks of apartments...or if you are lucky bland block like villas/compounds....
a long time ago you could sit and watch peoples washing fluttering in the breeze...but the nazi like council for the beautification of Qatar outlawed it....all public displays of laundry carried a $1500 fine...
the views in saudi are somewhatof a mystery to me having never set footin that strange/backward place....but guess it isn't too dissimilar to Doha. |

| My laundry still flutters in the breeze. The council can kiss my grits. |
