New members of the Qatar forum, introduce yourself here

Hi

I've been in Qatar for coming up for 2 years now. One of the frustrations I have is finding out whats going on.

For example I know that the MIA, Museum of Islamic Art in Doha has a market in the first weekend of the Month. But I can't find out anything for this weekend which is the first weekend in March.

Can any one help. Is it on? And if so, is it on Friday or Saturday?

Hi,

In fact you talk about the monthly MIA park bazaar check this out (Doha news article) it's each first Saturday of the month.

Stay tuned to Doha news website and Qatarlivingto have updates on incoming events.

Cheers !

You are welcome, this is exactly why we all are here, share information and helping each other.

Read you soon

Moved to Doha from a 2 acre plot of land in the Canadian Rockies.......don't need to say too much more there.

I am a Clinical Massage Therapist that came over to work at a local hospital, but the position never really worked out.  Doing some small bits with the U of Calgary, Weill Cornell and CNAQ, and hoping for a role in the Anatomy/Physiology instruction area for next term at U of C....waiting on word that it is a go.  So far have enjoyed the beaches (?) here and the ocean for SCUBA and just playing.  Another nice thing is that Doha is only a few hours from everywhere, nice change that a short plane flight will take you to several different countries.....more exploring to do again soon.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Nathan and I'll be moving to Doha in about 3-4 months.  I'll be working at ASPETAR in the Aspire Zone.

Hope to learn more about life in doha so I can figure out a good place to live.  I'm married but with no kids.  I'm Australian and my wife is Argentinian so we'll be looking to meet lots of new people when we arrive :-)

Ciao

Hi all,

I am planning on moving to Doha in August as I have received a job offer at a school there. Very nervous as I am moving on my own so not sure what it's like in terms of making new friends and socialising,
Also are there any teachers on the forum who could provide an insight in to what it's like working in schools there?

Thanks

Hello
I'm fadi adam

I grow up here in qatar i born in sudan my dad worked over 50 years as teacher educate many of many generation
My dad told me i could find job here in qatar live happy but i was really very disappointed as i graduated from American University i did in India with BS engineering  i had tried apply everywhere i mean everywhere evn though i know 2 languages and i speak 3rd i was unempolyee for 2 years and half than i had my high school friend who happened to work in call center company and he told me to go for interview with his help i worked there
than after 4 month My dad has met guy who happened to be the PRO of company which I'm working with them now
as they promise to increase the salary after the company pickup after the company has growth they only increase the Egyptian who happened to work in this company salaries for Us they didn't do it as it suppose we had objected and spoke to CEO he had made some recommendation , i had work and in mean time to apply for others i had change my CV like 20 times to get job I'm still stuck in this company with same salary as i have 5 years experience in IT technical support as they give me this position just to keep me but i had force with my degree to give me IT engineering on my passport .
so after years pass i had made up my mind to move to states as I'm very sure in states will be treated much better for my expertise and i get paid for my work ..

Actually im not planning to move to Qatar but rather move from Qatar to  different country where i can work and school at the same time.
Qatar is a nice country to live in but they just have to stop their system of NOC which make the companies feels like they own their employees.

Hi im Daniel from westafrica Ghana and im now working in Qatar(Ras laffan) and i want make friends and meet friends everyone is welcome

You can't bring family to Qatar unless you make more then QR10,000 about USD2500. I maybe wrong, check on the Qatar Ministry of Interior website for exact details.

As for USD 1000 (QR3,600), it depends on the job and where you choose to live. Housing, food and transportation is expensive here.

Am already in Qatar  and am working

please advice me how to get job in qatar?

Thank you DINSKY, but if a person want to bring his wife on tourist visa and she find a job for herself. Then govt can allow them to be live in Qatar. I want k we waive there in Qatar for at least 6-12 months.
Please ans,

Chandrashekhar, 1000$ means almost 3600 QR. you have to pay minimum 2500qr as rent for a single room flat. transportation is very costly here. and not less than 500 qr for your grocery items.
