Looking for informations !

Good Morning Stephan,

It strikes me that 25 people have read your post but no-one has bothered to reply...Pretty much the attitude that I often find here. If, lets say, I am trying to cross the road, drivers will slow down to look at me, but no-one will actually stop and help... Anyway, just got me thinking...

So, I am not the most appropiate person to give you information about this country, since I have been here for only few months and I'm still trying to find my way.

I find that I get plenty of info about Qatar by reading the papers, so you get to know about developments, social interests, etc.

try these websites:

www.gulf-times.com
www.thepeninsulaqata...

These have also a classifies seccion where you can see about house prices, second hand car prices and jobs vacancies.

I hope it helps. And I hope someone else can provide more info. Good luck

Hello

Good day

I wil be shifting to Qatar shortly - I would like to know the Prevailing Rent for 1 Bed or 2 bed roon Villa or Flat in & around Doha.

Kindly help.

Sesame,

You can expect to pay more around 6,000 for a 2 bedroom.

I pay 3500 for a studio, so house prices aren't cheap!

Dear Stephan and Sesame,

I am living here in Qatar since 1991 and I think I can provide you some answers about your questions.

Life, it is much more diiferent than you remember in yout childhood, it is very booming country now and there are so much constructions are going aroung and it became very crowded nowadays, also there are many malls and nice shops beside many sports activities running here every month.

Accomodation, this will depened on your need, if you are looking for an apartment then your budget should start from QR 6,000 and Villas start from QR 10,000, if you want to share with someone then you can save some of those amounts.

Car prices, leasing for a reasonable car start from QR 1,500 such as Mitsibushi Lancer or Nissan Sunny.

Minimum salary, this is difficult cause it is vary and it also depened on your lifestyle which you used to live in your home country.

By the way, I am working as a real estate agent and I will be glad to help you finding the right accomodation you are looking for, you can email me at safwany/-a-t-/hotmail.com

Also I can guide you to some good leasin car agents in Doha if you need it.

Welcome to Qatar,
