What kind of accommodation for QAR 6k?
My husband got an offer for a position at the national airline. They state a housing allowance as "fully furnished family apartment within city limits, 24h security (QAR 6000)". We are hesitating about accepting this or not. However, I cannot find anything decent in this value. Although I also heard, that the company has their own properties to rent out for it's employees. In this case I don't fully understand how they state the rental fees.... Anyway, as far as I know these kind of accommodations are mostly close to the airport area, which might be cheaper, that's all I can think of. But I am still not comfortable about this offer. We really need something comfortable as I'll be at home most of the times with our baby. Can you help me to understand what to expect with these terms if you have any insight?
Thanks a lot.
They have their own building and villas for bachelor and families and accommodation is reasonably good.
You can get house rent if you don't want to avail heir provided accommodation.
well, u r right to some extent, if u are looking for a 2 bedroom fully furnished apartment it would definately cost u more than this in a decent area,I live in Matar Qadeem (that is the airport area)in a fully furnished 2 BR apartment and the rent is 7,600(inclusive of water and electricity bills) although it is the airport area but the location where we live is quite nice,and we don't hear any kind of noise from the landing and taking off planes,so i would say for a 2BR F/F residence u must expect atleast 7,000 QR but if u need a one bedroom flat that is easy to find in 6000 in main city. The average range for normal furnished flats starts from 5,500 (that is an average furnishing) check www.alemadi.com.qa for better judgement of rents in reasonable areas. hope this helps u.
Good Luck.
If the Offer is from Qatar Airways, they normally provide reasonably good accommodation to their employees.
If there is an option to rent a flat at your own, you can find a nice semi-furnished (with AC, Refrigerator, Washing Machine, Gas Table, Oven, etc but no furnitures) flat for QR 6,000 per month in Doha.
