yes I need a bedroom with a private bathroom, if possible by late tomorrow morning... My budget is 2750 Riyals... if anybody can help me out, just call me on my mobile: 5292350
BTW, I am super clean, so no worries about hygene...
You will get a studio for around 2500QAR i believe. You will find plenty of ads in the local newspaper. IF you are lucky enough you wmay even get a decent 2 bed room apartment though its a little bit difficult as the average price for a 2-3 bedroom is in the range of 4000QR to 6000QR.
most 2 brdm. unfurnished flats go for about 6500QAR, I do know someone who picked up a studio flat for 4500QAR a couple months back. But, you definately will have to share with someone for a housing allowance of 3000QAR.
what are al jazeera employee accomodations like? have you got a clue? joining Al Jazeera Int soon and no idea what kind of accomodation they'll offer for singles? studios?
Dear super
just read yr text. Could you be kind enough to let me know some apartments and areas where the rent is cheeper. What i mean is the cheapest possible rent for a decent apartment.
Kind regards
Omega
thank you soo much dohagirl and super ...you really helped me soo much ..
i wish i could help u at any medical advise..lol :)
I really don't know Ahmad, my villa was furnished, I would say 3000Qr for basic furnishings.
Tendai, anywhere from 1600QR for my Hyundai Tuscon to 3000QR for a higher end car. They are good to have here, and it only costs about 40 QR to fill them (at least mine).
never mind but cant u give an approxmiate value?
Can you give me a ball park idea of roughly what these SUV's cost. Nissan Murano, Infiniti FX, Toyota Prado, Mercedes RX, and BMw X5? Try as I may, I am yet to find any car dealers with prices on their website. Apprently conventional wisdom has it that an SUV is the ideal vehicle out there so thats what I'll be looking for.
Cars here are cheap, apartments aren't, especially single flats. YOur air conditioner should be included, as for furnishing, haven't a sweet clue, don't know your tastes, sorry.
really ? u make me think again as i thought it will b a hopeless case....
i prefer to get a single flat as i dont like to share rooms u know but wt u mean with old ones? i mean u got my job description as a medical representative not fixed in a place for work u know ...its just being arround hospital and polyclinics so there is no need to live in a specific place beside the car will make it easier?
would u tell me plz how much does it cost to furnish the flat aprrox. i mean bed, aircondition and essential things ...
thank u very much
I don't know, whatever you want. I'm driving a small SUV, so a car will be cheaper. A Honda Accord maybe...
Where would you find a 3000QR apartment Super, what area of town.
All relative DG I think that is important. Plus mine is 2 beds so he could find somewhere similar and share with someone. A lot of people share here and he is single so no problem
can you plz give me examples like what dohagirl?
i mean u mean like camry or accord or so or what ? coz i really cant imagine nissan sunny
Ahmad you can easily find somewhere for 3k. Especially if you share with someone. If you are a single man then this is easily enough to arrange. But if you want somewhere on your own then for 3k you can get a single flat in some of the older parts of town without difficulty.
As for your car allowance I bought a brand new mitsubishi pajero with a bank loan (repayable over 4 years) and my monthly repayment is QR2100.
So I would imagine that you would be able to find plenty of things for QR1500 perhaps toyota camry type cars
I own a Hyundai Tuscon and I pay 1600QR a month on it. So you can get a good car.
Yes but 6000QR would still be out of his price range. And I can't imagine a flat for 3000QR would be very nice.
Dweller, I forgot the names of those places, but I would say a half an hour at the least not counting on traffic, and Wakrah is practically part of Doha now, so it's no cheaper.
hi super thnx for replying but u mean i can find a one bd room for 3000 ? and where will this be? i mean i will not work in a fixed office as my work will b in hospitals allover qatar soo the place to live must not be doha u got what i mean ?
and if u plz tell me about the car allawance of 1500 QR what car can it got?
thank u again
DG Al-Khor? So how far is Wakrah? Rayan?
well he got ripped off. Mine is honestly really nice. Two double bedrooms, new building, western style decor.
6000QR? My co-worker got one for 10 000 and it had rats.
Not true ahmad. My apartment costs 6000 and is big and nice. You can get them for 3000 in a number of areas in town
Yes it is triple your housing allowance because your company is trying to screw you (sorry). The nearest place to Doha is an hour a way, that's Al Khor, and there are no flats there that I have ever seen.
thank you for replying but is this the situation near doha? i mean is this the situation only in doha u said 9000 QR and as u see its triple my housing allowance so would u plz clarify?
and i didnt mention to rent i mean to have a car loan or so with allowance of 1500 QR per month what would that be?
thank you
Apartments are 9000QR a month or more. You can rent a Nissan Sunny for 1500QR and you will pay roughly 1500QR a month on food. This does not include bills. I have no idea how much it will cost to furnish a place but probably quite a bit.
