Live expences and dressing
Hello everyone!
I have few questions, hope that somebody could answer me.
I was offered a job in Doha, with monthly salary of QR 3,300 and accomodation. I was wondering is that enough for a decent living?
And also I need to know about the dressing code in Qatar? Since is quite different from my country, and I know that women are not allowed to wear short skirts and schort sleeved blouse ect. But I was wondering about jeans, trousers, open shoes etc. What about things like that, is that allowed? I hope someone could tell me more.
Thank you :)
with 3300 you can live comfortably and save at least 500 rials.
The salary is not very good but it is enough to live a normal life if you are not with a family.
I advice u to come and try yourself coz the salary will not remain as it is.
don't worry about the cloth, you can wear whatever you want but the thing is that it should not be so "sluty" (sorry for the word).
wish you the best luck
But very little surprises me anymore. I cannot see any reason to leave your country for that salary.
3300 is not enough to survive in costly country like qatar grocery and food expenses will be upto 1000, mobile bill upto 500, transportaion cost upto 600 so this as per your living standard.
i feel the salary is low you should probably look for some other option otherwiseyou will regret yourself after making here as most people are facing here.
and to answer your question.
I was wondering is that enough for a decent living?
QR 3,300 NO (no matter how you want to live)
QR 33,000 YES (depending on how you want to live)
Thank you for the responce. I was wondering about my salary if it would be enough for groceries and stuff like that?
I wasn't thinkig of bying new clothes, but I need to know what kind of clothes am I allowed to wear? It is quite different from my country...
living standards.
If you are coming alone, you will be spending around 600 -1000 on your personal expenses including food (if you are maaking your own food)
Dress code is not that restricted. You may wear jeans, skirts, T-shirts etc as far as they are not revealing your body too much.
On the live expenses issue do a search since this topic has been frequently covered in the forums.

In 3300 you will not be able to buy more clothes for yourself so rest assured whatever you have you have to wear that only :(
