So I have an interview via skype for a very lucrative teaching position at Texas A&M at the Doha, Qatar campus. The compensation for this position is the best i've seen in quite some time and my wife is even on board.

My question is what is Qatar like? More specifically what is Education City located in the capital Doha like? Good schools for my kids ...[text shortened]... is made up of mostly women and non-Qatari citizens.

Any info is greatly appreciated.

Its a third world toilet.

Upset a local (like maybe he crashes into you because you stopped at a red light)
And you are screwed.
Expect to be sentenced to inverted crucifixion and partial beheading ( I kid you not)
But the moneys great I hear you cry,yes because maybe clever people don't want to go there. supply and demand and all that.

I've heard that it is warm and dusty. My sources may not be too reliable though.
