At Expat Focus, we like to be on the lookout for resources around the web that could help prospective expats adjust to their new countries. Today, we’re taking a look at Qatar and some of the blogs that might be useful for expats there.Follow Your Sunshine

Leaving behind the verdant (read: rainy) shores of the UK, Polly and her husband moved their lives to the Arabian Desert for endless sunbeams. Since moving, these luxury loving foodies have also added a bouncing baby girl to the Sunshine clan (complete with blogger-in-training romper) between trips home to the UK and reviewing some of the best restaurants in the Saudi Kingdom.
Yummy Mummy in Doha

A British expat living in Doha since June 2012, Kiren and her husband are raising their family whilst still enjoying the perks of living in such an up and coming Kingdom. Sharing her recommendations and experiences as a self-confessed Yummy Mummy, this is an excellent read for those looking to emigrate with their family.
Lemon and Mint

Tami Tales

A poster child for the generation of third culture kids, Tami is a 20-something expat with international emigrée credentials and an appreciation for the opportunities Qatar provides.

Elizabeth and Richard relocated to Doha 5 years ago and now spend their spare time enjoying as much as the Kingdom and afar has to offer. Often slaking wanderlust with trips overseas – as far afield as Antarctica and as close as Bahrain – they share gastronomic journeys for their fellow expats.
