I am a huge advocate of women uplifting, supporting and inspiring other women.
Here is my list of some of the most amazing Women’s groups in Qatar.
The below groups have made it their mission to not only welcome expats ladies to Doha but provide them with opportunities to meet and support other expats in a foreign country.
TLG:
TLG has over 200 members who are a multi-national group of women who meet alternate Tuesday’s at the Radisson Blu Hotel.
There is a great “buddy system” for all new members, who will be hosted by some of their longer-standing members who have a wealth of information about Qatar to help you settle in. The cost for annual membership of TLG is QR150.
In addition to providing you with the opportunity to meet other members, benefits include reduced admission to their meetings and special events, access to their special interest clubs and discounts at numerous venues.
They have numerous clubs such as a book club, cooking club and a movie club.
