Hello!
I am an expat living in Qatar - Doha. The city of towers, lights
and amazing turquoise sea. That`s the Doha from my perspective.
I love the city and it offers so much in fashion, food,
shopping, culture and enjoy every minute I spend here.
Welcome if you have just arrived or planing to move to Doha.
I will share some tips and useful information with you which made my life
easier in Doha.
If you just want to roll around and see what I eat, where I have
been, which activities I have attended, which spa I went you are most welcome,
I have a review guide just for you.
Tips and things to do:
1. Find the right online community for you to meet like minded people or to
discuss and get answers to all your questions about your local environment.
There are so many forums and blogs sharing useful information. Personally
I find Internations as
the best online community website as it is a worldwide site. Mark Thomson is
the Ambassador and is giving too much effort to organize events,
volunteering activities, answering questions and so on.
2. Who doesn't wants to save money? As an expat our aim is to
save money and at the same time have a good quality life style. It can be
really costly if you choose to eat everyday out and having spa treatments every
week.
Don`t worry. It is not costly as much as you think. I will
immediately advice you to buy a voucher book which gives you buy one get one
free offers on almost every hotel, restaurant, spa and fitness saloon.
I will advice you to visit www.theentertainerme.com to buy the book online and use the promo
code F&G15 for
additional discount.
Using this promo code will give you additional
discount and in total you will get %30 off compared to the market price.
3. If you are
looking for an apartment to rent , check Property Finder,Dubizzle, Qatar Living
or Qatar Sales websites. If you have time, I will advice you to search your
apartment close to your office. Traffic can be a real problem if you have long
working hours you will not want to spend extra minutes on road.
I
personally went to the towers and compounds and ask
their security to give me more info and if possible to show me a flat.
This was the best way to get immediate response on your queries.
At the end I found the right apartment for me and signed a year
contract with Better Homes. I am happy with the service they provide.
