Default RAK or Doha??

I am leaving Thailand shortly due to the end of my contract here and I have been offered two jobs one in Doha and the other in RAK. Having lived in both places in the past, I know quite a bit about them, however, given today's situation what would be a better place to choose?. I think that the salary would be a little bit more in Doha, but similar.

Very similar places, and many direct family 'connections' (the RAK ruling family all have Qatari backgrounds or relatives).

Having visited both over a dozen times, but never stayed more than a few days in either, RAK is simply a better place in my view. That is all the OP asked for, not a detailed explanation.

It was directed at BC to be fair. Just wondered if she had been to Doha. And I absolutely agree, I would choose RAK.
