Housing Allowance

Hello
I am considering moving to Qatar from the UK. However, I am concerned about finding good accommodation. The role I am being interviewed for is a senior IT management position with Qatar Petroleum. Can anybody tell me the location of the IT department and where might be a good place to look for a 4 bedroom compound villa not too far from Doha College or DESS? Ideally I would like accommodation in a good sized compound where my wife and kids (aged 6 and 9) can make friends easily.

Many thanks

Julian

Thanks for the responses. Do you know what the housing allowance is likely to be so I can check out possible accommodation in advance?

As Senior staff with QP, you will not have any problem finding nice accmodation in your allowance range. Best to know what school you will attend before finding accmodation. QP has a very nice compound which new staff go to when they arrive.
