Food-Humus, breads, LOTS of dates, gorgeous desserts (personal opinion-look better than they taste), camel meat (no, I have not had any yet), juice stalls-AMAZING!
Driving-Few rules of the road, even fewer rules enforced, round-a-bouts with stop lights, heavy congestion during rush hour
Clothes-Abaya's and Thobe's for the Qataris. All others are conservatively covered from shoulders to knees. High-end runway fashion, beautiful handbags and a Rolls are nice accessories.
Families-Very familiar society, which is different than the US. Families in Qatar are considerably larger than you might find Stateside.
Water-Everyone drinks bottled or filtrated water. Not sure why....
Nightlife-Expats and locals tend to find themselves at either one of the 5 star hotel's restaurants/clubs or at the Souk smoking shisha. Alcohol can be found at a select few establishments, but most spend their nights sober.
Environment-One word-Beige. Very sandy with mostly neutral colored housing structures. However, Doha is an architects dream. There are some amazing structures here.
That is all I can think of for now. Let me know if you want more....
