Hay ladies I've just moved to Doha over a month ago and just moved out of Barwa me and my husband don't have any children but even if we did I think we still would have moved out. It was costing about 70QR to get in to the city by taxi, which we we're doing a lot as there is nothing to do in Barwa! Getting back was hard as some taxi drivers didn't even know where Barwa was! Don't get me wrong it's a lovely place and there making it look real nice, our apartment was massive but with no pool or gym, me not working I had nothing to do. I can't remember even seeing anyone else in our apartment block. Obviously I can only speak for where we were I have no idea how big Barwa is but everything looks the same and I didn't see any shops or anywhere to have coffee but I may have been a bit further out. Having said all that not to put you off we've now moved to West Bay Lagoon and I love it!!! There's shops here we have a swimming pool and a gym and a club house and I get to see people and it's great! It's only 17QR to the city centre so you don't have to drive, I just pick up a taxi outside. But we now have to pay rent where as before my husbands company paid for the apartment. Even though it's a bigger expense it really does depend on your reasons for coming out, if you just want to save, save, save then maybe you don't won't the added expense. But if your like me and my husband and want to enjoy life and save some I'd look at other places to live as well. The city offers so much so it's best to be near it especially if you don't have children. The best way to meet people is being out and about. Do some more research, have a look at other options. My husband came out before me so straight away he thought I wouldn't like it in Barwa so we got the ball rolling and I was booking him appointment to view other places, he was there by himself for just under a month and he didn't like it so it's not like between us we didn't give it a chance! Having said the we didn't. Have a car so couldn't explore very well. Maybe that's the key. Don't hesitate to throw any more questions out this is a great sight in finding out more info xx
