Sample Budget and Cost of Living- 2013 update
By Doha Socialite on Mon, 17/06/2013 - 10:42amDear all,
There have been many threads recently discussing the costs associated with living in Qatar. The most popular post though is from back in 2008, so it is time to get different opinions on the current cost of living.
Please add your input below. Try to stick to cost and description, rather than detailed explanations. The idea of this is to give new people an idea of what to expect.
Example for 1 month in QAR, for 2 people with no kids:
7,000 - Rent (Old Airport area - 3 bedroom)
1,500 - Groceries
1,000 - Eating out
200 - Petrol
250 - Internet
120 - Phone (Shahry & mobile internet)

Qatar Airways buys 9 Boeing 777-300ER
By Doha Socialite on Mon, 17/06/2013 - 11:40pmQatar Airways has signed an agreement to buy up to nine Boeing 777-300ER aircraft valued at $2.8 billion at list prices, the airline said at the Paris Airshow on Monday.
Two of the aircraft on firm order will be delivered in early 2014, airline Chief Executive Akbar Al-Baker said.
Options for the other seven are likely to be firmed up shortly after, and the delivery schedule will be decided then, he added.
The order is part of the company's "aggressive and rapid development," Al Baker said.
The Doha-based airline, already a 777 customer, operates 35 of the extended-range jets.
The latest order, valued at $2.8 billion before discounts, will grow its fleet of the Boeing jets to 51. Deliveries begin in early 2014.
Qatar took its first delivery of Boeing 777s in 2007.

When Magic Comes To Doha
By alrodaini on Mon, 17/06/2013 - 10:41pmNo matter how older you get, you will always remember those Disney characters from your childhood. Bringing Disney to the Middle East, especially in Doha, was a great success. Only during the first week of posting the event details, seats were running out for almost all of the sections. Not only tickets were sold to local residence, but internationally as well. People from different parts of the world were extremely excited to come and see the performance. The performance by all means was overwhelming, and extremely amazing! The songs that were selected made all of the audience sing along. Such songs were like:
“A whole New World”
“Lion King”
“Cinderella”
“Beauty & the Beast”
& lots of other theme songs of different Disney movies.

My visit to ezdan mall
By fbg2008 on Mon, 17/06/2013 - 11:14amVisited Ezdan mall couple of days back. I must admit the entire outlook has changed with the opening of many new shops like bebe, forever 21, Carrefour and Tim Horton's. The mall was buzzing with excitement as compared to the early few weeks. My purpose of visit was to check out forever 21, a store I have longed for since like forever to open in Doha, with it's amazingly reasonable prices and huge huge range of merchandise! and I was delighted to find a lot of brands on sale:) It was a very pleasant experience (not like the other crowded malls in Doha) and we found parking in no time!
What i found most appealing, was the modern outlook of the mall, which is very inviting for families especially in lieu of the variety of brands that are due to open soon.
