U say $ 4,800 is = QAR 17,520/-

You can have below;

3 BR villa furnished - QAR 10,000/- (With all facilities like Pool/Gym etc)

A Decent Car for QAR 2,500/- per month

This leaves you QAR 5,020/- for you food and other livinf expenses and beleive me.. peple with 1 wife, 2 kids spends only about QAr 1,500 PM as their food cost..

I am sure you will be a happy man!

enjoy :)

Hello,

Your monthly housing allowance is very good

most British ex-pats with a good housing allowance are in compounds with pool, gym, maintained gardens etc.

Best thing to do is stay in a aparthotel and and have a look around before committing to a lease.

good luck

4800 USD will be fine, a decent car will set you back approx. 3000 per month, 2000-2500 for food, leaves 12000-12500 QAR for housing etc. Perfectly adequate

If you are getting a Living Allowance of US$ 4800 it is really a good offer. There are plenty of new villas (2 bedroom and other facilities) you can rent for less than 2500 USD per month and I think the rest will be more than enoug for your food, phone and other expenses if you are not looking for a lavish life style.

If by your question above you mean 4800 dollars "SALARY" which translates to roughly 17,000 riyals the you can get access to loan for :Good house and good car,medicals good food, Good holidays. Unless you mean something esle when you say "good life", in any case i guess the answer to your question is YES!

But if by your question above you mean 4800 dollars "ALLOWANCE", Then whatever your salary is. the answer to your question is YES! YES!! YES!!!

......GOOD LUCK!!!

Is your salary in US$? Does it include housing, transportation, schooling, etc, on top of your salary? Is it more than you are making in the UK? If so, then it may well be adequate.
