2500 a month should cover you for food so that leaves you with ~5000. What needs to come out of this? If it's purely excess social money then fine, but if savings have to come out of that (I assume, like most of us, you're coming out here to generate some savings) it isn't a lot.
Also you'll probably find 11000 isn't enough for a high standard apartment. The 7500 your company mentioned definitely wont be enough. Your best bet is to get the company to pay the rent for a high spec apartment, then you wont get stung by rent increases either.
Also, are you being paid in QAR or GBP? As exiledsaint mentioned the riyal is tied to the dollar, so your salary can change in relation to your home currency.
