You will NOT find 1 bedroom flats for less than 6.5k, and even the 6.5k decent ones do not come by easily. 1 bedroom fully furnished will cost 7.5k. You might get lucky and find a very small studio for 5.5k, unfurnished. But they are difficult to find. 2 bedrooms will cost at least 8k, more likely 8.5k.

 

Please, do not believe the classifieds on QL, I've seen a few things advertised that the agents/owners claim to be "really nice" and they were a dump.

 

Basic salary seems good, though, Doha is not an expensive place if you do not plan on going to 5 star restaurants every night.

the offer is pretty good. All the other allowances are reasonable based on my experience.

 

Just see if you can get housing allowance increased to about QR 7 500 or 8k.
