Qatar Life?

Is Qatar really sucking up the salary you get from work? Are house rents doing this? What's better; Qatar or America? You decide and discuss!

Shazam, if life is too much of a burden, why choose to live here?

I went to the UK for 5 years, didnt like the atmosphere or the way of living (all on taxes and everything goes to councils and governments) so I came back.

The largest thing in Qatar that would reduce your salary is Rent. That's my opinion. Then again, in the UK my apartment 1 hour from London was 1200pounds so I had to share it with people.

I hope to see the great city of Doha and feel at home there.

Well it is after midnighter here in Texas so think I will leave you great folks and talk with you tomorrow.

By Scarlett• 19 Oct 2007 08:04
Scarlett

certainly love Texas..but home is where the heart is...and I am..so therefore I am happy being here!

America the greatest place. Texas the best state, oops probably an argument there. But in all seriousness where ever we live we make the best of it.

That is exactly what I meant. Why would someone leave America to live in a "tragic" place.

CatNamedAlex...to take the plunge for money and adventure or not..that is the question..grass is always greener..been there, done that..I have heard that rent is outrageous and life is very boring..it's about making money only...comments?

CatNamedAlex..like many people here I'm wondering about all the same questions. I sense a lot of disenchantment.

may be qatar is not the best place on the earth to live, especially for a long time..but not because of inability to buy a property.. Not every country in the world allows to buy its property..nothing wrong with that...

Why would you leave America to live in such a "tragic" place.

You basically have to get a partner-ship with a local. Bad move because that is just telling me you have no rights and you are piggy backing with someone's sponsorship.

The best information is to ask a realtor locally. Just write your questions in a piece of paper.

Unless they have designated zones designated for foreigners only.. resorts or islands stuff like that.

For my perception of this place is their greediness is their driving force for all the rentals pricing.

I live in a compound that my company leases out and I could tell you the structures are 15 years old and its falling apart, slowly but surely. Electrical problems every time etc, etc.

Is best to know your rights before hand.....

By miss.lillywhite• 19 Oct 2007 05:20
miss.lillywhite

I will fall for that. Is it save to invest in real estate in Qatar? What are your rights and why would you do that anyway?

By anonymous• 19 Oct 2007 05:17

The question you need to ask is:

Is it save to invest in real-estate properties in Qatar?

What are your rights as a Home owner?

Specially when you are a foreigner working in this land.

By miss.lillywhite• 19 Oct 2007 05:11

If you dislike Qatar so much why are you there is the question?

I'll take the US anytime before this freaking place called Qatar....At least tenant have rights and are not manipulated through their jobs or condition like in Doha. There is no real laws of consumer protection in Doha. All this crap about housing affordability in Doha is non-existence because is not regulated with solid laws and enforcers. I forgot the only solid laws that exist in Doha are based in their believes. All we are is a bunch of over paid slaves working for the rag heads....
