    The Persian Gulf is a long way from home, so I was especially glad to discover this super expat community for Doha.

Get Connected to Our Community of Expats in Doha!

As-salām 'alaykum, and a warm welcome to our expat community in Doha! As a platform designed to serve expats from across the globe, InterNations is here to help you work through the challenges of moving to a new city. Expats from across Doha and other areas of Qatar have used our platform to make the transition to their new lifestyles easier. If you're already familiar with Doha, or you have some tips of your own, feel free to contribute to our community so others can benefit! When you become a member of InterNations, you can answer some of those niggling questions prior to your arrival in Doha. Such questions may include, "how do I open a new bank account?", "do I need to get any vaccinations before I arrive?", or even, "which restaurants serve the best Lebanese food?" By drawing on the experience our many members have to offer, you can arm yourself with the right information prior to your arrival.

An amazing community is waiting for you!

    I loved the InterNations expat gatherings in Doha, and I hope we'll have another opportunity to meet up at 'La Villa' or the golf range.
