Doha - Where to Live
Just moved to Doha. Currently residing in a hotel and need to find a place to stay.
Looking for a furnished apartment, but unsure of the right locations. What is the best region to stay in? |

Depends on what you want to spend amigo. You can get 2 bed furnished apartments from 8k or pay 20k for furnished and serviced in West Bay.
What are the best districts? There are absolutely loads. |

On that budget, Al Sadd or Al Waab. Plenty to do around there as there is a few hotels, La Cigale - Ramada plenty of shops and close enough to west bay - 20 chips to get there. Grab some wheels and go walk about.
I just arrived yesterday and have at least another week before I start my job so will do some roaming around. Just don't want to waste to much time on places that aren't worth visiting. |

Thanks. What is Ain Khaled like. There looks to be some good rates for apartments within a compound over there?

Ain Khaled gate? Thats at the top of Salwa road?? If thats the one it is good and popular but a bit far out for me. You will need to have a driver to come and get you all the time. I prefer to wonder out and wave one down in a minute - Its also far cheaper.
Do you ever go to any of the meets that thy arrange on here? I need to start getting out to meet people. What industry are you in? |

Re: Doha - Where to Live
britexpat - you know anything about exporting dodgy cars to the UAE for dodgy expats???!
Ain Khaled apartments are small i believe but the compound has great facilities. ZigZag is in that budget but I cant reccomend it! Ain Khaled is fine location wise provided you drive as everyone does! You can only walk out and get a taxi ont he street if you live in west bay or perhaps the pearl these days |

Most are serviced now and small. Forget Ezdan as its a shithole. |
Re: Doha - Where to Live
2012 x-terra. drove round to AD last year was pretty painless. thinking of doing it again to export it myself but that option seems to be confusing most of the companies/agents that i talk to so far!

Re: Doha - Where to Live
going completely off topic here so apologies but.....
problem is finding a weekend between now and my qatar visa cancellation to do it. in theory i could transfer ownership to a mate in qatar, he drive it through then register it in my name in AD as I'll be there by then? will that work? the required mate is willing, for the price of a hotel in AD for the night and a pint for every 100 clicks! |
