Note that if you are have a small young family, to be able to lead to a comfortable life style (moderate) your total pacage should be at least equal to QAR. 15000/- and you will be able to save 'some' money. If your package is anything less than thatt, then you will only 'manage' your expenses here and will save nothing. Meaning, it makes no sense to disturb your present settled life for the sake of an offer that only looks 'big'

Drawing 10000 in Qatar is equivalent of drawing 6000 in Dubai.

I have lived in UAE before moving to Qatar. The difference I have found between them, is that in Dubai you can manage your lifestyle even if your package of as low as 5000 by leading a conservative life, or you can have a lavish life, if your package is a hefty one. i.e. Dubai provides you a lot of options to choose from and also provides value for money in everyway.

But, in Qatar you do not have much of options and hence you are forced to spend your money on the limited availablities. Moreover, Qatar is too expensive and the costs we pay are never complemented / justified by th type of service / product we receive.

Also, the processes & formalities are so slow over here (i agree there can be few exceptions) that we need undergo a real test of patience on many occassions. It takes time to realise that things can go as slow as they are here!

It makes no sense to switch over, if you are getting only a marginal improvement in terms of pay. Shift only if your package is good enough to lead an everage lifestyle and still save some money.

The best thing about Qatar, unlike Dubai, it offers a very very peaceful, stress fress, cool n easy life wit almost zero anxiety levels. The place is small, so you dont waste a lot of time on travel. There are no crazy traffic jams. You get more time to spend with your family. 'Cleaner' & 'safer' surroundings & market places in terms of modesty and socialising.
