About Doha English Speaking School

Doha English Speaking School (DESS) was founded in 1981, catering for the growing need for an English speaking school.
The history of the school dates back to 1971 when an English Primary School catering for British children was first built. The junior school was opened in February 1979 by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the present Emir's father.
The discovery and subsequent exploitation of a huge gas field on its north coast has led to significant economic progress in Qatar in recent years. This in turn has led to a rapid expansion of the Doha English Speaking School, both in terms of pupil numbers and overall facilities.


This not-for-profit school caters for children between the ages of three and eleven years, with plans underway to expand in to Years 7 and 8.  Although the admissions policy prioritises British children, the school has a strong international element.
The DESS Board oversees the management and development of the school in accordance with our Constitution, the best practice of British and International schools and Qatar’s laws and regulations.
The Board works closely with the Senior Leadership Team, and proposes policy, strategy, improvement plans, use of resources and educational developments.  The Board then debates, guides and approves these as well as monitoring, by way of regular reports, the operations of the school, to help the school achieve its vision as an international beacon of excellence in education.

Benefits Of Working In The Gulf Countries:

Working in the Arabian Gulf countries (including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman) can offer significant benefits, particularly for expatriates and those in industries like oil and gas, engineering, construction, and finance. These countries are known for their thriving economies, attractive compensation packages, and diverse cultural experiences. Below are some of the key benefits of working in the Arabian Gulf:

1. Competitive Salaries and Tax-Free Income

  • High Salaries: The Arabian Gulf countries often offer very competitive salaries, particularly in industries such as oil and gas, engineering, finance, and healthcare. Salaries are generally higher compared to many Western countries, especially for specialized roles.
  • Tax-Free Income: One of the most attractive benefits of working in the Gulf is the lack of personal income tax. Employees in countries like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar can keep their entire salary, which can significantly increase their disposable income.

2. Attractive Benefits Packages

  • Housing Allowance: Many employers provide housing allowances or company-provided accommodations, saving employees significant living costs.
  • Health Insurance: Comprehensive medical coverage is often included in benefits packages, with employers typically covering the full cost of health insurance for employees and their families.
  • Annual Flights Home: Many companies offer annual flight tickets for expatriates to visit their home countries, allowing workers to stay connected with family and friends.
  • Bonuses: Performance-based bonuses, end-of-service benefits, and even signing bonuses are common, further enhancing overall compensation.

3. Generous Leave Policies

  • Annual Leave: Employees in the Gulf often enjoy more generous annual leave policies compared to other regions, with up to 30 days of paid vacation annually.
  • Public Holidays: The Arabian Gulf countries celebrate several public holidays, such as Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, and National Day, with many businesses closing for extended periods.
  • Maternity/Paternity Leave: In many Gulf countries, there are legal provisions for maternity leave, though the duration and benefits vary by country. Some companies offer additional leave above the legal minimum.

4. Career Development Opportunities

  • Industry Growth: The Gulf region is home to a fast-growing economy with strong investments in industries like oil and gas, construction, healthcare, technology, and finance. This offers employees ample opportunities for career progression and growth.
  • International Exposure: Working in the Gulf offers the chance to gain international exposure, with many multinational companies based in cities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha. This experience is often seen as highly valuable for career advancement.
  • Training and Development: Many Gulf-based companies invest in employee training and development, offering opportunities for skill enhancement and career advancement. Professional certifications, leadership training, and mentorship programs are common.

5. Modern Infrastructure and High Quality of Life

  • Modern Cities: Cities like Dubai, Doha, and Riyadh are known for their modern infrastructure, with world-class facilities, high-end shopping malls, restaurants, and entertainment options.
  • Luxury Living: Expatriates often enjoy high standards of living, with access to luxury housing, top-notch schools for children, and recreational amenities.
  • Transport and Connectivity: Excellent public transportation systems (including metro and buses), world-class airports, and easy access to regional and international destinations make life in the Gulf convenient and comfortable.

6. Cultural and Social Opportunities

  • Diverse Expatriate Community: The Gulf countries are home to large expatriate populations, meaning employees can connect with people from various cultures and backgrounds, making the region cosmopolitan and culturally rich.
  • Social and Recreational Activities: There is a wealth of social and recreational activities available, from luxury shopping, fine dining, and cultural experiences to outdoor activities like desert safaris and water sports.

7. Safety and Security

  • Low Crime Rates: The Gulf countries generally have low crime rates, making them safe places for expatriates and families to live and work.
  • Stable Political Environment: The Gulf states are known for their political stability, which adds to the sense of security for expatriates living and working in the region.

8. Relatively Lower Cost of Living (in Certain Areas)

  • While some cities like Dubai and Doha can be expensive, particularly in terms of housing and schooling, overall, the cost of living can be lower than in major Western cities such as New York or London. Additionally, with tax-free salaries and provided housing, many expatriates find that they can save a significant portion of their income.

9. Tax Advantages for Companies and Expatriates

  • Corporate Tax Breaks: Many companies in the Gulf are exempt from high corporate taxes or benefit from tax incentives, which can make the region attractive for business operations. This often translates into higher compensation and bonuses for employees.
  • Investment Opportunities: Many expatriates take advantage of the tax-free income to make investments, purchase real estate, or save for future goals, benefiting from tax advantages that may not be available in their home countries.

10. Potential for Saving and Wealth Building

  • High Savings Potential: Due to the combination of tax-free income, housing allowances, and a lower cost of living (in certain areas), many expatriates in the Gulf can save a substantial portion of their income, potentially allowing them to accumulate wealth over time.
  • Real Estate Investment: The Gulf region, particularly places like the UAE and Qatar, has a thriving real estate market. Expatriates with permanent residency status in certain countries (like the UAE) may also have the opportunity to buy property, which can be a lucrative investment.

11. Proximity to Major Global Markets

  • Geographic Location: The Gulf countries are strategically located between Europe, Asia, and Africa, making travel and business connections to other regions easier. This offers employees the chance to experience diverse cultures and opportunities for business expansion or networking across global markets.

12. Retirement Benefits

  • End of Service Benefits: Most Gulf countries offer end-of-service benefits, which can be a form of severance or a retirement bonus that employees receive after completing a certain number of years with a company. This lump-sum payment is often equivalent to a portion of the employee's salary and can be a significant financial benefit upon leaving the country.
  • Challenges to Consider
  • While the Gulf region offers many benefits, it also presents some challenges:
  • Cultural Differences: The Gulf countries are predominantly Muslim, and expatriates may need to adjust to cultural norms, such as observing Islamic holidays, modest dressing, and specific working hours during Ramadan.
  • Restricted Freedoms: Some Gulf countries have laws that may be restrictive for expatriates, such as strict rules regarding alcohol consumption, personal behavior, and freedom of expression.
  • Limited Permanent Residency: Although some Gulf countries have introduced initiatives for long-term residency, it’s still more difficult to obtain permanent residency compared to Western countries, and visa policies can change over time.
