4000 USD is approx 14.5K QR. For this you may be lucky and find a compound villa of 2-3 bedroom. For example I am in a reasonable size 3br compound villa (older villa) and it is around 14K QR. A friend of mine scored a 4 bedroom brand new stand alone villa for 15K QR. Im not sure if this is the exception now, others will be able to say if this is fairly normal or preety cheap, but this is my experience. I also know however that most stand alone villas we have looked at have been 4 bedroom for minimum 20K.

Is hubbie also getting the amenities covered, or an allowance for amenities? This is also preety important as the cost of water, electricity, international calls etc. can be preety steep.

Cars in Qatar are preety cheap compared to other parts of the world. Dont know about second hand car costs but the new car we are purchasing is is less than 2/3 the cost of the same in my home country, plus fuel is very cheap.

As far as being a family therapist goes and working, there are a number of possibilities.

First you could try some of the major hospitals and clinics and see if they have something available or can open a position for you.

You can also set up on your own with a Qatari Sponsor who will have to be partners in your business.

Im not sure about the laws of setting a lil something up on your own. I do know that alot of people do it but I dont know the legal ramifications behind it. I do know people who have done this for years without problem, but I think you probably need to look into it a little. Im sorry I cant be of much help in this department.

Goodluck to you and your partner
