Moving to Qatar early Feb, and from everything that I've read leading up to me making a decision it would appear that your proposed housing allowance will be the area that will impact you most. Broadly speaking (from what I understand) a reasonable 3 bed villa in a compound will cost you in the region of QAR15K per month, so you can immediately subtract QAR7K per month from your basic! The car allowance is also a little light (mine is 2400, and is considered average, I think). 31K seems okay eqauates to around $102K, Keeping in mind that this is tax free it shouldn't be a million miles from your current take home! You should also be getting one flight home for yourself and your family (preferably business class). The holiday allowance would also typically be quite generous ie 30+ days per annum. Not sure if this helps?
