Renting a Villa in Al Khor
With the expansion that Qatar is seeing and the high number of residents that keeps on increasing year after year, the Qatari Government is working hard to expand other cities in the country in addition to Doha, and offering development projects in those areas, with a major focus on real estate projects. This is all in preparation for the country to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup, which is the first time a country in the region has won that honour. As a result, there is a high number of expats who choose to come to Qatar and enjoy the high wages and career opportunities it offers. In turn, this has created the need for a number of new residential units to become available, in different locations, different styles and budgets, to cater the demand of residents. Luckily, there is a high number of properties for rent in Qatar available for expats.
While most residents continue to choose to live in Doha, the country's capital, this has resulted in sky high rental prices, heavy traffic and even long waiting lists for housing and school. There are a high number of properties for rent in Doha, but there are also other areas that offer residential units as well.
As a part of the country's expansion, Al Khor has witnessed an increase in development and the addition of projects ranging from housing, hotels, restaurants and cafes, as well as schools, health centres and more. Al Khor is a municipality in the state Qatar; Al Khor City is located in the northeast coast of Qatar, around 60 kilometres from Doha, and is now considered to be one of the major cities in the country. The city is well known for its part in the Qatar's pearling industry in the past, as well as its harbour which is filled with fishing boats and small crafts. The town has beaches with some historical towers, making it a coastal city, a characteristic that residents love. The calmness and serenity that Al Khor offers is a far contrast to the bright lights of Doha, which many like to escape.
