Hopefully this blog site provides useful, and
occasionally entertaining, information about moving to and living in Qatar. The more one knows about life in Qatar before
departing the better the transition is.
That’s the whole purpose of this site – so one can learn from recent,
first-hand experiences to be ready to go upon arrival. At the same time, it’s good to get several
perspectives on the subject.
To that end, a couple of suggestions on books I
found helpful in preparing to move to Qatar.
The
Expat’s Guide to Living and Working in Qatar, edited by Candice
Brissenden, was of great use. It covers
everything from Qatari culture, to educational opportunities, to
transportation, even weather and places to shop. While it did not cover anything – and nothing
substitutes first-hand experience – it provided a decent glimpse of what to
expect. Plus, Amazon’s Kindle edition is
only $8…not a bad price.
André Snoxall’s Moving
to Qatar – A Rough Guide was a bit shorter, but still provided good
information in brief. It’s “Getting
Around” section was fairly informative, as were parts on what to anticipate day
to do. Even better, the e-book goes for
$4.
Then again, you don’t need either of those, you
have this blog…for free.
