|
|
Does anyone know if the rail service has been completed in Al Wakra?
Will this mean that it will be easier to get to Doha?
Also I am finding posts that state that Al Wakra is a boring and dull place?
Any new malls, gyms,cinemas, hotels ?
Is it true that the cost of living in Al Wakra is better than Doha?
Any good private clinics or hospitals?
Does one need a car in Al Wakra?
Any family beaches that single females can go to?
(Yes, I have done research,however, would really like to hear from anyone
who is currently living there or visited the place.)
Thanks. |

Rail service has not been completed anywhere in Qatar.
Wakhra is small but has opened a Souq area along the Corniche which people have said is small but attractive.
Hotels would be 3* at best - no alcohol is available in the town. The only liquor outlet recently doubled the price on all products (including pork) except for only 70 or 80% increases on some products.
As a single female you would attract unwanted attention even on the family beach in Wakrah
You need a car or you need to use taxis, careem, uber or you can make arrangements for a private driver as needed.
There are no malls in Wakrah.
Hamad has a very good "branch" in Wakhra - this is the government medical facility.
The cost of housing is less in Wakrah |
