40-45k is mid-level I think..

12k for housing is a decent 2 bedroom...

Al Waab is a good area, pretty much everywhere in Doha is fine apart from the Industrial Area. Depending on what you want, it is probably a good idea to get a compound with plenty of facilities- pool, shop, gym etc. Driving here is a pain in the arse so you don't want to have to get in your car for the occasional pint of milk etc. Also, we found it far easier to meet people and make friends on a big compound. Personally, we're in one of the Beverly Hills compounds. 11k a month for a three-bed and great facilities.

thanks rich - no kids......yet although they have said an allowance will be included if we have any that would require schooling. ideally id like to spend less than 12 for a decent place. i guess i will look around. is al-waab a good area/compound. have heard it thrown around quite a lot an believe it supposed to be in demand?

12k for housing is plenty. A three-bed apartment on a good compound is around the 10-11k mark. Alternatively you could get a villa on the smaller compounds for a similar amount. I assume you don't have children in education. If you do you really need to factor those costs in as schools over here are v expensive.

PS Welcome to Doha!
