Congrats on the job. I'm a new hire FO on 777 still in training at the moment; just to add to what Linerider has already said; it seems to be a good place for a family, Doha is a very safe city and there are alot of families with small children in the compound. There is a very nice clubhouse inside Ain Khalid with 4 swimming pools, very nice gym, coffee shop and restaurant and a really nice shopping mall close by. The driving WILL get some getting used to and I haven't experienced a Summer here in the desert yet but I hear it can get close to 50C.
I've seen women wearing short skirts and shorts and it doesn't seem to be an issue. My family will be joining me soon and I have no second thoughts about us moving here. Anyway hope the info helps.
Cheers!!
