A curb on driver's licences for expatriates?

By Doha Socialite on Tue, 04/06/2013 - 11:41am
Posted in:

It may not be easier any more for newly-arriving foreign workers to acquire a Qatari driver’s licence as the authorities are mulling imposing restrictions to help ease increasing traffic chaos and snarls on Doha roads.

The Ministry of Interior has been closely monitoring driving schools and asking them to keep under check their appetite to enrol more and more learners.

Already, foreign workers who are here on temporary project visas are not being issued driver’s licences any more.

A high-profile committee with members from the Ministry of Interior, Advisory Council, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Urban Planning and Public Works Authority (Ashghal) was set up to study the problem of traffic jams and come out with permanent solutions.

Here are some videos that I watched:

Hello guys,

Is anyone interested in starting a book club with me in Doha?
we can meet once a month, or once in two weeks, and discuss the book we all decide to read together...

it'll make the pleasure of reading an interesting book even more exciting if u have a bunch of people to share your opinions, perception and experience with....
I used to be part of a book club in Dubai before i moved here... and i can tell u there was nothing like the anticipation of my book club meeting after a hectic few weeks at work!

if anyone is interested (men, women, boys, girls.. anyone!) drop me a line here or on xahiira/-a-t-/gmail.com and we can bring in a few friends we may know of that are interested and expand r group slowly and steadily...

we could plan our first meet at Timmies!! :D

Hot Mikado Premiers in Doha

By Doha Socialite on Tue, 28/05/2013 - 11:54am
Posted in:

The Doha Players are proud to present the Doha premiere of “Hot Mikado”, opening at Awsaj Academy Auditorium 29th May to 1st June 2013.

Featuring well-drawn comic characters, toe tapping music, witty dialogue, and vibrantly coloured sets and costumes this show guarantees a fun night at the theatre.

Originally run in the West End in 1995, east meets west head-on in this hilarious 1940's-style updating of the Gilbert and Sullivan classic.

With the music transformed into jazz, blues, swing and scorching torch songs and 'Three Little Maids' turned into an Andrew Sisters' show-stopper, this zoot-suited, tap-dancing colourful show is certain to provide the ideal evening out for the whole family.
