Moving to Qatar

Moving to the Middle East can seem a daunting prospect. Getting assistance from Clark and Rose help to make your move a smooth as possible, leaving you free to enjoy the prospect of new life in the exciting and vibrant Qatar.

Qatar has experienced rapid economic growth over the last several years on the back of high oil prices, and in 2008 posted its eighth consecutive budget surplus. Economic policy is focused on developing Qatar's non associated natural gas reserves and increasing private and foreign investment in non-energy sectors, but oil and gas still account for more than 50% of GDP, roughly 85% of export earnings, and 70% of government revenues. Oil and gas have made Qatar the second highest per-capita income country - following Liechtenstein - and one of the world's fastest growing. Proved oil reserves of 15 billion barrels should enable continued output at current levels for 37 years. Qatar's proved reserves of natural gas are nearly 26 trillion cubic meters, about 14% of the world total and third largest in the world. The drop in oil prices in late 2008 and the global financial crisis will reduce Qatar's budget surplus and may slow the pace of investment and development projects in 2009.

How long will it take to ship my belongings to Qatar?

If you are moving your home you will probably require an FCL container. The shipping time Port to Port is 20 days, with the majority of shipping lines calling at Jebel Ali in the UAE as an arrival port before transfer to Doha.

Other options available are LCL and Air freight, however we would strongly recommend that you do not ship as a "part load" (groupage service) due to customs clearance regulations in Qatar.
