moving back to qatar ...have lived in doha before - 10 years ago so expecting big changes! what is deal on bringing in dvd/cd re censorship. Things used to blacked out etc and would rather not take chance of customs keeping dvd's, can just put them into storage. are magazines still blacked out?
are there any decent gyms now?
thanks
Aisha-Taweela said
Shorty ...No more censorship. You can bring in all dvd etc. No more blacking out in magazines. Lots of change since those days. It all started when the Emir Sh. Hamad bin Khalifa took over. You will be so surprised. We have road signs, enforced traffic laws and radar on most junctions. However most newcomers are still complaining about the lack of so many things. But for you it will be a big change. Welcome back.

Aisha ...Good job they weren't in Qatar when there was only "The Centre", "Salaam Studio" and "Blue Saloon", only 4 hotels and no bars.
Then they would complain.

coming back ...Thanks aisha,
Another quick question. Coming from US so need to buy all new elec items again, can you get GHD hair straightners in Doha? Can buy in UK before I come but will leave if can get in Doha at reasonable price.
Surprised at lots of negative comments about living in Qatar, I loved it before but maybe things have changed. Used to be most of socialising done with friends at parties etc and the odd night at doha sheraton. Maybe lot more young singles there now and not much for them to do?

LIVING IN RAS LAFFAN INDUSTRIAL CITY ...I got a job offer in Qatar and I'll be assigned in Ras Laffan Industrial City? Can any one give an overview on the way of life in there? how's the housing rent, food, transportation, etc? how much is the rough estimate of cost of living for a month?
Pieman said
Jekky.............. The only ...Jekky..............
The only accomodation in Ras Laffan Industrial city is single accomodation in the camps operated by various companies.
Camp standard varies a lot and the cost is usually free as the company provides it.
There is no night life or anything, its just a labour camp.
just eat another pie
snakecharmer said
Ras laffan ...RL is a gated Industrial complex hosting numerous Oil/Gas processing refineries with a few labour camps run by companies for their employees who work inside RL,one fuel station,a couple of banks,one small cafeteria and a rent-a-car company.
The nearest town is 25 kms from RL called Al-Khor where private accomodation can be rented.
Doha,the capital city is the next option 80 kms from RL.
Entry into RL is tightly controlled and long ques can be frustrating on certain days.
The sky in RL is quite brightly lite at night courtesy the ever present flares from the various refineries.
Nothing to do inside RL other than work.
I hope that gave you an outline of what to expect.
Cheers n good luck.

Arriving in Doha. Where to stay ...Link removed by Mods. Please do not advertise on the forums
It was a difficult arrival. Staying in a hotel and feeling the pressure to find an accomodation ASAP as funds were rapidly depleting.
And then I found this short term villa to stay - very clean, large rooms, free Wifi and satellite TV. Even a small pool. All in all, a really good stay.
Check this out.
love, life, laughter
