Re: Favourite supermarkets in Abu Dhabi?

Re: Vaccine rollout in Qatar

Most people i know have been processed in 30-60 minutes. Shouldn't be an issue. I'd certainly recommend one of the drive throughs though as your risk of picking up Covid-19 in the queue is much...

Re: Post lockdown

Good post. I don't think there will be a sudden lifting of the lockdown, rather a gradual lifting over a period of years with some restrictions lasting for the long-haul. Some more legacy items:

Re: Investment Platforms for expats

Try interactive brokers. They don’t hold your hand through the account opening or trading on the platform, but covers your requirements as an expat. Saxo bank also worth considering.
