Qatar · desert

🌍

Doha is a big city of roughly 1,000,000 people right by the sea in Qatar. The climate is desert. It has a lively, popular feel and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $2,300. Healthcare is strong, and the internet is fast enough for full-time remote work. People come here for food and eating out, art and culture, swimming.

Entro il 2030 qui è atteso un cambiamento concreto: alta velocità doha–riad, 785 km, e ferrovia del gcc. La sanità privata (5/5) è nettamente migliore di quella pubblica (2/5): metti in conto un’assicurazione. Non esiste imposta sul reddito delle persone fisiche.
