What do people like (and dislike) about Doha?

"Quite an easy experience as an expat, though the climate in summer is unbelievably hot," said another expat in Doha, Qatar.

"Expats and digital nomads living in Doha, often appreciate the city's modern infrastructure, high standard of living, and tax-free salaries, which allow them to save a significant portion of their income. They also enjoy the warm weather, beautiful beaches, and diverse range of outdoor activities available, such as dune bashing and water sports. The city's cultural scene, including museums, galleries, and traditional markets, offers a unique blend of tradition and modernity that many find appealing. Doha's central location makes it an excellent base for exploring the Middle East and beyond, with many regional destinations easily accessible by plane. The city is also known for its safety and cleanliness, which contributes to a comfortable living environment. However, expats and digital nomads may also face some challenges while living in Doha. The extreme heat during the summer months can be difficult to cope with, and the conservative culture may require some adjustment, particularly for women who may need to dress modestly in public. The cost of living can be high, especially for housing and entertainment, which may offset some of the financial benefits of living in the city. Additionally, the strict alcohol regulations and limited nightlife options may be a downside for those who enjoy a more vibrant social scene. Traffic congestion and a lack of public transportation options can also be frustrating for residents. Finally, some expats may experience a sense of isolation or difficulty integrating into the local community, as the majority of the population is made up of expatriates from various countries," wrote a member who made the move to Doha, Qatar.
