The Wahyu Family in Qatar blog has some nifty ideas about surviving a summer in Qatar – with kids.

Here are some of them:

• One week vacation abroad to “cooler country”
• One-month Ramadan festivities (visit new State Mosque, visit Souq Waqif with its fasting break ritual, fasting break (iftar) in any interesting outlets, try traditional only-in-Ramadan recipes
• Summer cleaning at home: toys, unused stuffs, recycling
• Take them to the seaside or water park
• Take them to bookstore and buy some summer school break books to keep them learning
• Send them to one of the summer camps – See Timeout Doha’s 25 to try summer camps

Any other suggestions, y’all?
