Diving in Qatar Posted: Fri September 30, 2005 06:59 AM UTC
Hi,
I am moving to Qatar in a couple of weeks time. Since I have started diving not too long ago I am keen to do more of that in Qatar. Does anyone know what the diving there is like.
Is there any dive center that offers trips out to the Gulf on weekends.
Cheers,
Pete

Qatar to the UAE by road Posted: Tue September 20, 2005 04:04 AM UTC
Hi,
Can you drive from Qatar to the UAE on land? I heard it's difficult (or near impossible) to get into Saudi Arabia by road but can you get to the UAE without having to go through SA? On a map it doesn't look like there is a direct link.
Thanks for anyones help.

Hi,
I'll be reaching Doha airport in the morning and my next flight is at night. So i'll have about 13 hours. I was wondering if I'll be given a hotel to stay at? Is there any hotel at the Doha airport? Or are the passengers shuttled to a hotel outside the airport? Whats the name of this hotel? Anyone knows? Thanks.

Is it possible to buy a property for living in Doha. This is thinking
instead to pay rent, buying something. Any extra tax for expats buying
properties there? Can I get something with US$200.000? Is possible to get

hallo,
is there anyone who could help me about salary range?
I've read a lot but i can't really understand which is a low/medium and high salary for European/American.
The problem with me is that the company that is offering a position doesn't pay for any benefit, so i will need to find an house for rent, car, and everything else...
the question: I have an offer for about 25.000 real all in...
is it fair or i should give up??
thanks a lot...
