Is it worth bringing furniture to Doha? I'd be looking for apartments when I get there - how are the fully furnished places? Furniture ok? Or is it wiser to look for a semi-furnished place and bring my stuff?

I agree with smoke n z928, as I had just asked for you; a semi furnished place really just include curtains, dish washer, stove, oven ,fridge ,washing machine. So for bed , sofa , tv , things like that will not be included . Hope it helps :)
Yeah. I would bring few personal house decoration but not furnitures. if I have known most apartment here is fully furnished -i would have just leave my one set furniture back home.
Also i did bring some non perishable local food(not found in Qatar) from my country using the container.
Just coz the company is paying for it does not mean you have to get it. Some people just like to take on the extra headaches. Are you in Qatar right now? If you are i suggest you go take a look at the furnished apartments first before you decide if its worth getting all that stuff just coz "its paid for".
I agree. Do not bring your furniture because most apartments around Doha are fully furnish.I notice the difference between fully & semi is only 2k Qatari Riyals.
I made a mistake bring my own furniture as I was recommended to bring.But the shipment container was paid for so I don't mind. So now i just mix my one set furniture which consist of 3 seater, 2 seater & one seater,carpet & one table with the apartment's furniture.
Furniture at home centre are not that expensive IMO. if you do find a apartment or villa semi furnished.
Like I said (and meant) I worked offshore mostly and was in the office for a few days at a time for 7 months 2 years ago - so never had to deal with housing before. I'm going to be stationed there permanently now, gene the reason for finding an apartment, buying furniture etc.
Ive been to Doha before for a short while (and worked offshore mostly) but stayed in company housing when i had to go into the office... this time I'd be there for some years and office based.
At this point you only have a temporary contract. You must past the medical exam which takes about a month to get your results. Meanwhile, you won't be issued a Qatar ID until you get your medical results and sign your permanent contract. Without a Qatar ID you won't be able to rent an apartment. Majority of the buildings have electrical and plumbing problems due to the unskilled foreign laborer's. Therefore, rent a fully furnished all-inclusive or company housing till you feel you might stay over a year.
Yes there is and it tends to be cheaper if u choose this option, but then again it also means they might not provide too many furnitures to you. I think it varies too when it comes to different property companies providing just what sort of furnitures, so it's important to find out from each of them if you do wanna go for a semi furnished one :)
Hi there! Personally I would not bring furniture when it comes to a fully furnished apartment in Doha , as they do have the basic stuff being put in already;such as tv, tv cabinet, wardrobe, sofa bed .
Like me, I will be very soon moving to one of the fully furnished apartment as well, n now have the difficulties getting rid of my bed, sofa, tv n cabinets - omg it sure will gonna take some time y'know, so judging from my own experience, I would not recommend you to bring too many of your own furniture :)

yeah, company is paying to transport it that's why I'm thinking I should take advantage of that or not.
Good to hear from you! thanks!

Hmm... slightly rude, but ok.

If you already been here, you should know the answers to your own questions.

That's kinda all I need, Phoenox. I mean, if i get a better place just cuz its furnished for the same price then sure - Id move into a sf place there.
Or if the ff places have crap furniture.
Thanks!
semi-furnished generally doeasn't mean what it does elsewhere. Here I believe it means curtains, stove, oven, dishwaher and washing machine.

I think it varies too when it comes to different property companies providing just what sort of furnitures, so it's important to find out from each of them if you do wanna go for a semi furnished one :)
Thanks Soulfood - well, isn't there an option to get a semi furnished place?
