starting out
hi there - this forum is a fantastic resource!!!
I'm coming to Doha next month, and starting from scratch. My budget is pretty generous, but I'm not sure what to buy. Do villas come with fridge, washer, dishwasher etc? Is it simplest just to go to Carrefour and buy everything or are there cheaper places? I'm in a furnished apt for 1 month, and I'll have abt 6 months b4 my family arrive, but I'll need the basics fairly soon.
cheers
It depends. Our appartment is semifurnished and it has only A/Cs, cupboards and cirtains. In Carrefour for refridgerator and etc. the guarantee is only 1year but un Giant stores they are 5.
thanks for that - I'll let you know how I get on.
Depends upon the type of accommodation. Fully furnished, is just that, semi-furnished usually includes fridge, cooker and a/c units, unfurnished means you buy everything.
While Carrefour is ok you might want to see if when you arrive dealers (Samsung, LG, etc) have a sale on which might save you some money.
Welcome and good luck.
