Doha, State of Qatar

“Let’s Google a city I have lived in to see if it looks worth visiting”

Well I could suggest our old blog as a source of information on Doha, but it depends what you are searching on to where it comes in the Google results. From personal experience I can tell you there is not as much on the Internet about Qatar as there should be... a few sites and a couple of information resources here and there. It isn’t until you arrive in the country and get your hands on the local guide “Marhaba” that you really find out what is on offer.

Doha-Online – A rather poor directory of local business etc. Not very good or very well designed.
Qatar – This is quite a nice looking site but content is limited. Home of the Qatar Tourism Authority, it also hasn’t really been updated for a couple of years now and for some reason they have decided having Google Ads at the top of the home page adds something to it.
Qatar Info – Never quite worked this one out and has very little as far as pre-arrival information that would encourage arrival in the first place.
Qatar Living – This one doesn’t really fit the same category as other sites I have been looking at, but it is the one stop information resource for all current and potential expats in Doha. Basically a community blog and not the most attractive one at that, but still good on the content front.

Could never work out why so little information was online regarding Qatar prior to arriving; once I arrived I worked it out very quickly! Would be nice if “Marhaba” went online though, and developed a real presence to encourage tourism.
