I am new to Barwa City. It had some amenities - good supermarket, some cafes and restaurants, good school and kindergarten, but it is lacking others - no community center (yet), no swimming pool yet, no gym, no library, no playground yet. The apartments are quite spacious but have no balcony. It feels very safe here for a family. Does this help?
Yes schools are quite expensive here!!!
You mentioned that your husband will be working in the airport so I am presuming something to do with Qatar Airways or its affiliates.
They opened a school for their staff this January Oryx International School

Thanks Bsamra, that was really helpful. It seems like a nice school. We have been given a company apartment in Barwa City which is just across the road from Newton international School. I had a look around it today and it had a good feel to it, though it's much bigger than any school I've ever been to. Do you know anything about it?
I hear Park House is good.

Thanks for the advice. I have read an article on these and whilst they look very impressive I'm afraid they're out of my price range!
