Moving to Doha
Hello friends....recently i have been offered a job in Doha, Qatar. If everythings goes well i will be there from Feb 2011. If you can help me making final decision it will be a great help. Its is a managerial position and they have offered me Basic+HRA = 19000 QAR/month, also company car.
1] Will it be enough for living in qatar. How much can be saved.
2] What are normal monthly rent for 1 or 2 BHK appartment
3] Is it difficult to get Qatar driving licence.
4] If my wife come with me there, can she work in doha.
5] Is there any public transport available
6] Can we get Indian grosseries & foods easily
Savings will depend upon your lifestyle. You need to put aside 4-5K for the housing and 2K minimum for the groceries if you are with your family.So that leaves you with 12K.Dont forget the currency exchange rate is presently at around Rs12.4 to a Riyal.
All the best with your decision making.
