Sales Application Engineer from Europe

Hi all...
I'm a Sales Application Engineer with 8 years of experience coming from the top company in Lighting industry. Associate Degree. Coming from Europe.
I've been offered a position of Sales Support Engineer in Qatar - Doha, financial package 16,000QR (10,000QR basic sallary/ 6,000QR housing allowance), free car, petrol, phone, bonuses, medical and round air tickets for me and my family.
My friend from Dubai told me that this is not good offer and that I should wait since he sad, I can get basic sallary 20,000QR + all the extras.
Is that realistic what he sad or I should go for it? I'm planning to come with my wife and year old child.
Thanks!

We prefer Doha before Dubai ...We prefer Doha before Dubai since it's better for children. If I negotiate should I ask for the mentioned 20,000QR + all the benefits (housing, car, phone, medical etc.)??? Don't know how the negotiation goes around here. I've heard that people from Europe are often better (double) payed then people from India or Nepal etc.

for 6000 you will not have a ...for 6000 you will not have a good family accommodation.
I think a reasonable offer would be 16.000 + all the mentioned benefits, at least.

Thanks "etaster"... Yes I saw ...Thanks "etaster"...
Yes I saw that while searching the web trying to find a decent accomontation but nothing good for 6000QR. I already asked for 14,000QR + 6,000QR + benefits but they turned me down with telling me lies which hurt a little and I was dissapointed a bit. I will not give up on asking for more when I tell them that I know they are telling me bull****. In a meantime I hope that I will get a better offer from other companies so I can choose a decent offer.
