Working in Qatar

Qatar is a modern peninsula rather than an island, with Doha as its main employment and lifestyle center. Hospitality opportunities are available in luxury hotels, restaurants, resorts, event venues, airlines and tourism businesses, especially for candidates with international experience. The culture combines Islamic traditions with a highly global workforce; modest dress, respectful behavior and sensitivity during Ramadan are important. Life offers excellent dining, shopping, beaches, desert excursions and major sporting events, although summers are extremely hot. Qatar is generally safe, and English is widely used in workplaces. Most overseas employees receive an employer-sponsored work and residence permit, while the company commonly arranges medical checks, documentation and sometimes accommodation, transport, meals or flights. Confirm the complete package before accepting an offer. Bring attested qualifications where required, budget for an expensive rental market, and check restrictions concerning alcohol, tobacco and public conduct.
