We understand how important it can be to start networking once you go to a new country. Not only is it good to make new contacts, it is better to find people like yourselves to help you settle down. From chess clubs to general groups in the country, you have a lot of options in Qatar. Here, we have listed a few groups that not only help you build a social circle but be of aid in times of need.

Doha Tweetups

One of the most active groups that is always willing to welcome new people, Doha Tweetups is a club that has themed events that consists of speakers and local talent who are ready to reveal themselves. You will find people from different backgrounds here and you can connect with everyone. From food tastings to book swapping, Doha Tweetups is always planning something new for their group.

Doha Mums

The name of the group pretty much says it all, but there is so much more to Doha Mums. Not only are they passionate about raising kids in a comfortable environment, they have various events such as get-togethers, holidays, workshops and meetings to keep themselves busy and updated. In addition, Doha Mums has one of the biggest libraries in Doha at the moment, and one can just tell about the success of the group from there. They even have a forum where everyone shares tips and resources for new mums helping them to figure things out.
