for the offer its very interesting , but for the package , you have to know that qatar is very expensive regarding accomodation and school fees.

so 6000 HRA is almost basic, as the minimum renting of 2 bedroom flat is 7000 rials

for the saving depend on your way and level of living ,but in general 12000 is reasonable offer and could be acceptable.

good luck

You will save approximately QR 8,000 p.m. provided you will get accommodation in line with your HRA and of course depends on your standard of living. I think u can opt for this offer. Wish u all the best.
