5. Utility chrges (Electricity, Maint. chargs for Company rented house (having rent of not more than 1800 QRiyals.) I have option of getting 1800 Riyals if I can arrange Accomodation myself. Can I have a decent 1 room kichen furnished accomodation in 1800 Riyals.(Thinking to bring wife after 3 mths)
6. Any other basic necessity charges missed above.

The Salary is ok if you are single.

For family, its obviously not good.

1 BHK (independent & unfurnished) will not be less than 2800.

Food - Expensive.

Grocery - Expensive

Travelling - own car is compulsory (atleast for family)

Fuel: cheap.

Water & Elect: 300-500 (may be company will take care)

Internet - 200 QR/month (if u r not sharing with someone)

Don't take the accomodation allowance, it is very low.

the living index in Qatar is very high, but you can manage it if they provide you wit haccomodation.
