For anybody who has moved from Dubai to Qatar how did you find it? My hubby has been sent for work which is looking like it could be more long term than expected. He will be back every weekend but I am considering just moving there to make life easier. How is life there compared to Dubai?

Hi ladies, it looks like we'll be joining the migration from Dubai to Qatar too.

I work as a Brand Manager for a retail company my life is mostly work. Love a good night out but not a big fan of brunches maybe once in a while. Am planning to have kids next year so would like to know if it is a good place for that.

If you could give an idea of what your day is like in Dubai (what you like to do, where you like to shop, if children are involved, will you be looking for work) we might be able to give you a reasoable comparison.

I think it depends where you're at in your life.... I like Doha but I certainly don't love it like Dubai. Then again I had quite a full life there and here I feel mine is limited somewhat by traffic and earlier school times. But perhaps you don't have children so that may not be a factor? There are the same hotels, brunches, shops and cafes so life is certainly similar but it seems to be harder to find the things you want/need! Having said that there is quite a nice community feel here, if you find your niche. But I still miss going to the beach with ease! Happy to answer any direct questions you may have... I have to say I was in Dubai for 4 years and here for only 4 months so you need to take my comments on that basis!
