21000 QAR Salary - enough?

I'm being offered a transfer for approx 21000 QAR per month. This is base and car allowance combined. Plus, each month I'm bonused on the profitability of the office which can range from nil to thousands. I'm single (except for my two cats :) ).... am I going to be able to live well on this? Would be looking at a 2 bedroom place and I'd purchase a vehicle outright cash so no monthly payments to worry about. Qatar is income tax-free, correct?
Would appreciate anyone's comments.

Accomodation ...Will you be provided accommodation? I've heard it is too expensive.

its not bad ...21K plus bonus is not bad. Account for QAR 8K -9K for 2 bed apartment. In terms of entertainment nothing much to do for a bachelor. Try yr luck. Cheers

If you are paying ...If you are paying accommodation out of this and expect to live a semi western lifestyle the this is will not be enough.

The salary is a good amount ...The salary is a good amount but right now the problem is finding a place to stay.Try talking to your employer for an accommodation, it might be easy cause of your single status, and try getting all the documents necessary for your pet's because this country have strict laws on pet imports, i hope u found out. And i would like to agree with Ste, and catch your breath before you invest in things like car, sometimes people tend to spend big thinking they can afford and end up with much more than they want...

21,000 O.o ...just kidding ... :) Sure it is good and it would be the best if they will provide an accommodation. If you are single you can get a nice studio type flat that would be good for you around 5000 - 6000 ...

Change in package ...Ok, looking at approx 25,000 QAR total package (7k housing allowance). Plus, additional 5500 QAR for 6 months. Doesn't look that bad.
Should survive for a single woman, right?
I need to locate hotel apartment that takes cats for a month until my stuff arrives.... any suggestions???

More than enough. Say 7.5k ...More than enough.
Say 7.5k for a flat, then that leaves you loads and loads to play with.
You can easily live a "western" lifestyle for 4000QR a month.
