kingtout, the accommodation will depend on your status (married or single), your company, and your grade. For family there're multistory flats building or independent houses (2 bed room or 3 or 4). The residential areas are "very quiet" and relatively much safer, compared to big cities like Cairo (I think the population is less than 30,000, at least up to now). If you're living there as bachelor, then you might be given a bachelor accommodation, one big room with a bathroom in a multistory building. There's a nice park and playing ground for kids there. Health center facility is good (the doctors, well... that depends). Public transport is not good, but for some it's sufficient. You might need to have a car as soon as you can. Public buses depart every hour or half an hour to Doha (usually quiet congested, but the bus trip from Doha to Mesaieed could be much worse especially at weekends). No taxi. Some drivers might be willing to take you to Doha for small amount of money. There's only one shopping area with some shops (the biggest one is a medium sized supermarket Novita77 mentioned), restaurants, laundry, barbers, etc. But don't worry, once you obtain a car, it will be easy to shop to Doha instead. As for Corolla or Lancer (new car), the price ranged around QAR 55,000 more or less. Hope that helps.
