Accomodation in Doha

JSL
By JSL

I just got an offer to work in Doha, Qatar and would like to check if anyone can advise me the best and decent area to live in Doha. I am currently in Dubai and not sure about the cost of living in Qatar with regards to accomodation, food & the nightlife. I am single and and been working in Dubai for 6 years. I would really appreciate if anyone can suggest the best decent area to find accomodation. Thanks

Just stay where you are. It's lonelier here in Qatar. Sponsorship system is still the slavery system. Be happy and contented with your life there in Dubai. Plus it's really costly to live here.

Yes Mushareib is the middle of the city but it depends on your duty place. Where is your duty place? If it is not so far from the city, then it is ok.Rents varies from location to loaction and also the type of building. 4000-5000 is normal range of building flats here. If it is fully furnished, then it is reasonable rate.

Thanks Amit. Is Mushareib behind Gulf Paradise Hotel a decent area? I found a 2 bedroom flat, Fully furnished with facilities, Rent is 4750 Riyal on Qatar Living Classified and not sure if this rent is reasonable and if this is a good area to live.

cost of lviing is the same and accomodation is also the same. Try to take near your work place.. as traffic is too muchgood areas will be - Al sadd, aziziya, abhu ahmoor..villa types are good .. with all faciltities..---------but social life is quite bad... when compared to dubai .. u will get depressed very soon...
