Qatar

[MiniMevsRevs]

Hi all, I recently received an offer of employment in Dubai which unfortunately fell through due to the current economic situation. This morning I have been contacted about a role in Qatar and the company wants to have a telephone interview with me tomorrow.

I am just trying to find out more about Qatar and wondered if anyone here has any experience of living / working in Qatar.

Cheers

Thanks for the comments so far.

Yes I agree it would be foolish not to visit before making such a move and presuming the telephone interview goes well then the next interview would be in Qatar anyway. We would use that opportunity to have a look around. (same as we did with the Dubai offer)

My only concern is that you cant fully understand in just a week what it would be like to live somewhere. Hence though it was asking a question here.

Dont suppose anyone is currently residant in Qatar ?

Saudi has also been a no in mind and not without reason looking at the views so far. All being well I'll take a trip to Qatar in the next 3 weeks and spend some time looking around, hopefully it will take more than 5 minutes....

I guess like anything its realative to where you live at the moment and Im not in the most happening area of Berskhire at the moment !!!!

They at least have a better financial base than Dubai, thinking about it how long is the drive from Qatar to Dubai or are there lots of el bargain flights (something for the weekend):-)
