Accomodation allowance

Hi everyone, I'm French and I got a job offer in Qatar for a government company. I plan to move there with my wife. My current salary is 2800€ per month in France. Basic salary is 7850 Riyals per month within a Qatari company for a Managerial position Grade 6. Are 4000 Riyals as per housing allowance enough or it might be negociated ? Is it possible to negociate a salary proposal in Qatar or is it a rude manner ? Thanks for all your suggestions and expertise.

Why would you come here for less money than you making back home??? They say, no tax but instead you'll have to pay rent - in your case nothing less than 6,000 for a decent accomodation - that is 50% of your salary!!!!! Forget da tax...

Going by latest exchange rates your current salary of €2800 is equal to QAR 13,760. The offer from Qatar is 7850 + 4000 = 11,850. You are losing QAR 1,910 by taking up this job offer, which is equivalent to €389. So think wisely before committing.

7850 riyal is very low for a managerial position? And you said its a gov't company, i don't think so. Because gov't company here are giving more than that salary. accomodation is also not enough.
