There are always unhappy people anywhere who will take the opportunity to badmouth the country. Qatar has much to offer and it can be a very pleasant place to live--but certain things, especially housing, can be very expensive. It can also be a dull place in terms of entertainment or things to do, especially for singles. It is, however, very safe. Whilst there is some crime anywhere, the crime rate here is very low and there is little to be concerned about regarding personal safety, even for a woman (but obviously the normal factors of being aware of your surroundings apply). Is it worth taking an offer? You have weigh the total offer. Balance what you will be making here (which for you will be tax free), paying for housing and the extra costs of being an expat. Qatar may be dull, but there are plenty of travle opportunities in the region which are only a few hours away by air. Just make sure that your employer either provides housing (and that it is quality housing) or you get a housing allowance sufficient to cover your rent (6,000 a month would be the bare minimum, a decent apartment for a single westener would be more).
