Middle East

I’m an economic historian from London, and I moved to Doha six months ago. Most of my research had focused on industrial Europe, but I wanted to study modern growth in a region that’s developing at remarkable speed.

I discovered https://middle-east.realestate/ when searching for housing and ended up buying a modern apartment in West Bay, close to both libraries and research centers. The process was smooth, and I settled in quickly.

Doha has been eye-opening. The city itself is a living case study — from pearl diving history to today’s financial expansion. I’ve joined a local university as a visiting researcher, and the access to archives and data here is fantastic.

If you’re in academia and want to see economic history unfolding in real time, Doha is a fascinating place to live and work.
