Would you still move to Qatar?
Despite the blockade and changes would you still move to Qatar from within the GCC?
Thanks ER |

Re: Would you still move to Qatar?
I wouldn't have fancied it much before and definitely not now. My concern wouldn't be about the current situation but the possibility that it could develop into a much worse situation.

Re: Would you still move to Qatar?
Only if you must.
Day to day life is fine. No real changes other than the disappearance of diet coke in cans (but can still get them in glass bottles, on and off). Dairy products are now mostly Turkish and tends to go off quickly. And no direct flights to the UAE, going via Muscat is usually 8-10 hours door to door. The real reason for not moving to Qatar is the quality of life is below the UAE. It's fine, but it's boring, dusty and shitty. If the money is fantastic, go for it but accept the realities of the tradeoffs. The UAE, especially Dubai, has a certain je ne sais quoi that justifies being there and which does not exist in Qatar, a country that feels more like a purgatory where life and people go nowhere. |

Well currently in Muscat so contemplating?

I like the lack of traffic so I hope not.
But I suspect people will :( and tendering is picking up. Sort of.

Assuming that Qatar has the same summer slowdown, is anyone actually expected to return in September?

I'd take Muscat over Doha like a shot.
I know Muscat is pretty quiet too but the countryside is fantastic if you love camping and exploring wadis, which I do. Plus Dubai is a short flight or 5 hours drive away, great for weekends. Last but not least, Omanis are far friendlier and real people than Qataris.

Regardless of the current political climate...they'd have to double my salary for me to even remotely think about moving to Qatar...it truly is a sh*t hole
