QATAR- what to bring
Hi guys!
I am preparing to move to Qatar and looking for some advice on things you wish you’d taken/what you bring back with you when you return to the UK that you can’t get in Qatar or is expensive there?
e.g Cadbury’s chocolate!
thanks

A suitcae full of Cadbury's might not stand up to the heat ! I remeember my surprise on first arriving in Jeddah in 1970 that the local shop had a fridge in which he stored bars of Cadbury's !

Otherwise you'll need patience by the truck load, a sense of humour, a strong drinking arm and an lifetime supply of resilience.

There will be definitely be a few bars of chocolate in there!! All sounds good though!
I’ve heard paracetamol and things like that are expensive?

Good call on Oxo cubes/beef stock. As above though, you can get most stuff in Doha.

Smoke alarm and CO alarm, there won't be a working one in your apartment. And one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fire-Escape-Ladders/b?ie=UTF8&node=1939537031
