is it possible to rent a detatched house - 3 beds min - within 45 min drive of the airport and how much would the rental be likely to cost? What is the cost of living like in comparison say to the uk?

There are many large villas and houses available for rent within 45 mins of the airport. Everywhere in Doha is within 45 mins of the airport. Unlike most cities, the airport here is actually in the city itself.

As to cost, there is a huge variety of standards and range of properties and prices. But broadly speaking I would guess you are looking at around QR15,000 per month.

Cost of living? Its many years since I lived in the UK but I would think it is broadly comparable but slightly cheaper here.

..have a good rummage through this site and previous discussions on this topic. I too asked the same questions and more, and I invariably found that taking in the wealth of info here in almost its entirety was a better answer than any one response.

Also, for answers to the housing question, have a look at www.remax-qatar.com and www.mirageproperty.com. I've used Remax myself and found them at least knowledgeable and friendly.

Good luck!
