Hi Richard, I think I've met you at HIA staff travel. I used to work at the national carrier. Great to hear your perspectives on life in Qatar. I have said the exact same thing to friends and family to describe Qatar - "You can walk around with gold jewelry and cash in hand at 3am with no fear of anything happening to you" that feeling of safety grows on you.

One of the most honest view from a westerner without criticizing the culture

As an Egyptian Muslim lives in Qatar i am sorry for your bad experience with that accident may be the Egyptian guy wasn't honest .. but really policemen are so fair but you have to tell him what happened accurately .. the most of accidents we just share the photos on an app without going to a police station if the fault is clear.
and for Ramadan we as Muslims don't force anyone to not eat or drink we know that you are not Muslim so don't worry no one could talk to you take it easy you have not to leave the country at all.
finally you all are welcome in our Muslim countries .. love and respect

Hi Richard, I like the way you share your thoughts, and you are very open and so patient in replying to almost all questions. Kudos!

Love the way he explained everything in simple understanding details. Appreciate you making this video cause I’m leaving Los Angeles and moving to Doha for work on January 15th.

[healthandwellbeing]

The fact that you take the time to reply to every comment is great ! Thanks for the video ☺️

the most honest video about this place that i've seen so far...

3 days before my move. Of the many many vids on Doha this is my favourite. Thank you sincerely

My top tip to anyone making a trip for employment to the GCC countries is to learn some of the local language. This will show you as a confident individual who has some awareness of the local culture and customs. Also you will meet so many local people who will help you

this is the best Qatar related vlog i've ever encountered. You can maybe drop a vid regarding the job market for audit and counselling pros.

Hello Richard 👋! Great, informative video! Thanks for sharing great tips.

Hi sir, greetings from a Qatari citizen. I hope you enjoyed the life in Qatar. I just wanted to explain that the “myth” you talked about at 7:50 about Qataries “it is always your fault” is totally untruthful. I personally made an accident with an expact here in Qatar and I was mistaken, and the police just said “ it is your fault” and I respected that. By the way no one is above the law. It does not matter who he is and I’m sure if you lives more you would know more about the country and how lovely the laws are. Maybe it is not fair to become a pilot with a lot of experience but you can’t become a car driver, very wierd. If I knew you before I would help you to get a license. Anyway thanks fpr sharing.
Cheers from Qatar 🇶🇦

Bcos wat you just said is absolutely true and thank you much for sharing sir

[andrewhume]

Thanks for taking the time to inform us!

Mostly accurate however you don't need a degree to get a driving licence. Employers don't keep a portion of your pay. There is an end of service benefit paid by your employer at end of employment which is 3weeks pay for every full year you have worked for your employer. Loans are based on your earnings as in most countries. Don't ever threaten anyone, you will get arrested as technology in the country especially cctv is world leading. If you are disrespectful or cause trouble expect to be caught very quickly. Amazingbplace to work and live

[nostalgiaandthrowbacks]

excellent and honest review .
it's a shame people around particularly in Europe are ignorant about Qatar.

[jayalam]

Thanks Richard, I loved this review as it an honest review. Can you please share more about the apartment and perhaps do a tour, advice on lettings agents to approach, how you went about the agreement and breakdown on costs please?

[andymerrison]

Lived in Qatar 5 years from 2013-2018. Both me and wife had full driving licences without degrees. British UK licence straight transfer.

Great video - keep making more Qatar lifestyle videos. Appreciate your insights bud.

Loved the way you related your stay in Qatar!! Personally, I'd rather choose/consider (cities like) Abu Dhabi, Dubai, or Manama to go on a (one-week) holiday (or even live for a short period of time, say, a couple of months), over (cities like) Doha, or Sharjah.
