Hi Dylan

have a look at my posting in response to "why are so many people leaving Qatar".

Please think about this carefully. With a wife and two children, a housing allowance of 7500 QAR is NOT enough. You cannot get anything decent for less than 10000 - 12000 QAR.

Your base salary and transportation allowance appear competitve so you just need to negotiate on your housing allowance.

Doha is a nice place and I've heard a great place to bring up and educate your children.

Good Luck!
