Hi All

New here, and I'm sure you've heard it all before. Possibly moving and cited! and nervous!

Wondering how many Uk expats are around, if there is any bars that said people frequent so I can say and hear the familiar dulcet tones of uk accents to apease potential home sickness!

Thanks for anyone reading and double thanks for any replies!

yes for sure there is so many Uk expats here in Qatar, and i think have to visit Irish Herb at Sheraton Hotel so you can meet guys and girls there.

Hi,
When are you planning on moving out?
Do you have a job sorted already?

Hi Terry

There are loads of British expats here. you can go to the rugby club near doha college the atmosphere is great, its like being at home but with the good weather. The irish bar usually has expats there and the Admiral pub at the Ritz. if you decide to come here i would recommend it, especially with tax free salary If you go onto Doha Time Out website it tells you all the upcoming events, restaurant deals and clubs.
