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.

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.
