I'm not saying that everything is perfect in QR but at the moment I feel that there is a big difference in the packages that are in favor for QR.
However, if you're young and or single, Doha is not a very exciting place to live in, and this is an understatement. The blockade and the future of the sandpit is worrying...
Now that the market is OK in Europe, I would rather stay in Europe than goto EK.
Why is the future worrying? Are you flying for them?

From what I heard, Dubai is a lot better and more happening. Cost of living I'm not sure. Should be quite similar, but either ways you are flying most of the time. Oh yes.. not forgetting the blockade that happened recently... Maybe now is the time to try for Asian carriers?
