Hello all,

My husband and I are moving to Qatar soon and we need some advice on areas to live in. He'll be working at the airport so we ideally don't want to be too far from there. I've seen a few places in the Old Airport area, what's it like there? Any other suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks

Living close to job place is a good strategy in general, and in Doha in particular, done to the crazy traffic. but consider that flights leave at any hour day and night so I don't know if I would be happy of living close to the airport, because of the noise. Maybe it is better if you get some information from your husband's colleagues. Said this, maybe I would look for some place near the Islamic Art Museum - the Souq wakif, because there is a park where you can walk, there is the market of the Souq with some nice restaurants and some cultural events organised by the museum. But I don't know how are residences in that area.
