It's my 3rd week here and you do acclimatize to it somewhat. As long as you have some air conditioning to escape to periodically!
I remember going to Doha every summer when I was in my early teens and getting so bored of sitting indoors that one day I decided to play soccer outside with some of the other kids in the neighbourhood in the afternoon. It actually wasn't as bad as you would think, you just need to stay hydrated.
