looking for people who don't consider Doha as the most boring city ))) by Kseniya1

Hi,I'm looking for people who don't consider Doha as the most boring city in the world ))) I'm almost 3 years here, ok, Doha is not one of those cities, full of entertainment at every turn, but anyway there are places to go and to have a good ...

It is always a matter of prospective, and what you make of it. If you hang around people who keep complaining that Doha is boring, eventually it will get to you. Doha is not Dubai, but it has just enough to do to keep you busy and entertained ... Read More

GioAqua

My advice is, let go of transporting your car here - too many parameters that can go wrong: - Different package for different weathers - May not be services at the local dealer - It will take about 2 months in route - The paper work involved - You ... Read More

Hello, Keep in mind that in most forums, you naturally hear more about bad stuff, it is human nature to share negative things than positive ones. I think the most important things to keep in mind are: - It is a package, and it comes as a ... Read More

1/ They do get many, many candidates for each positions/ 2/ They have to sort through so many unqualified candidates. You will probably find 100 CV for Windows Admins applying for the Unix position. 3/ They are slow a bit. Read More

BBBB, There isn't a one-stop shop for such information in Qatar unfortunately. Normally you get two or more different answers to the same question. Anything specific you are looking for? QatarLiving.com is an excellent resource. Hope this ... Read More

I thought you were going to complain about the lack of response or effectiveness of job boards in the Middle East (like bayt.com). Personally, I registered my CV for a number of years now with Bayt.com, while results are mixed and debatable, no one ... Read More
