Hi there!!! Here is the contact no. of TGI, the owner of the flat where i'm staying now. +974 44428454, their office is near the Jarir Bookstore in Salwa Road. I think there are 2 vacant flats now here. This is fully furnished, with wifi connection free. Your place of work is near the Al Sadd, actually it's only about 10 minutes drive. The traffic is not really that heavy it's only because of the traffic lights. If u don't like to be late, leave 30 minutes before ur time of work,,at least u still have enough time to prepare urself before u start with ur work. WELCOME TO QATAR!!! HOPE U WILL ENJOY UR STAY HERE!!!

Thanks for all the comments, pretty Useful.

Will check out Al Sadd. My Job will be on the C-ring road beyound the Ramada towards the airport.

I hear traffic can be mad. How long do you think it takes to get from Al Sadd to the Ramada in the mornings?

As a bachelor, it would be very convenient and practical for you to get a furnished flat. You can find plenty of them as soon as you get here.

It will be very convenient on your part if your accomodation is near to your work place. Don't worry about getting friends,,,they are just around the corners,,,just be careful of course,,,rentals,, vary,,,depending on the location,,,structure of the building (old/new),,facilities,,,etc...but usually cost around 4,500 - 7,500...better get a fully furnished one. mine here is fully furnished,,,,2 br, 3 toilets,, kitchen and living room,,,al sadd area,,,nice building ,,,well maintained,,people living are all nice also...it's 6,000qr..

Its better you choose an area that's near to your workplace. Compound for a single?, its good as long as it fits in your budget (Qr.10,000+).

For two bedroom apartments it would be around Qr.6000+. Easy to find friends once you arrive in here ... Count me in too buddy
