During our time in Qatar, our family owned a total of 6 cars, 4 of which were bought used. Buying a pre-owned car is always tricky, no matter where you are, so it doesn’t surprise me that it’s one of the most common questions I’m being asked. And so I gathered everything I’ve learned from […]
Celebrating anniversary in Qatar without spending tons of money- is it possible? Many people would say “no way”, because the most obvious ways to spend this important day involve heaps of money.
