dear out of this 15000 QR you will spend QR 8000 as a complete living expence per month, but consider if you have two kids in school then you have to spend more about 1500 QR / month on their education and other things. rest all depends on you and your wife how you like to spend. if you go daily for a dinner to five star definately this will be finished and if you both will think in a real sence you will save minimum every month a 6000 QR for sure. Any ways best of luck, qatar is a better place to live in any other GCC country, no match in life style Answered on Mon, 09/11/2009 - 4:28pm

that package is ok atleast.. but here living cost is really high. U may find 1Bed room flat at nearly 5 - 7K / month. and about the living cost.. do search in QL.. There is a good post explaining the details. NOC and other things, you should clarify with ur company before moving to qatar. I CAN GUARENTEE ONETHING.. YOU WILL FIND NICE PEOPLE AROUND.. EVEN THE LOCALS ARE NOT LIKE KUWAITI.. THEY ARE REALLY GOOD All the best Answered on Sat, 07/11/2009 - 12:02pm

It is a decent offer, though you can try to bargain and ask for a bigger rental allowance. The rents are coming down....you should get a 1BHK for 5K....Kuwaitits are very arrogant but the Qatari are helpful and decent except for the oldies who still haven;t digested the idea of the migrant influx happening in Qatar....!!

household items.....> electronics more or less the same price as in Kuwait....Furnitures, you do have a market like the Friday market in Kuwait..where you can get a gud bargain...... Answered on Sat, 07/11/2009 - 2:13pm

Hi your salary is more than enough to work ourside the oil and gas industry, well as i notice you need to convence them to shoulder all the school expences i mean education, well near garaffa is mostly if you can get 2.5 to 3 thousand riyals is not bad rent for a month for 1BHK. at least you have a car and its closer to the 2 supermaket one is Landmark and the other one is City Center. Goodluck to choose brother Mario Answered on Sat, 07/11/2009 - 2:33pm
