What are the good/nice areas to live in Doha (for expatriates)? - Expatriates are all over the place, but the white folks tend to generally live in compounded villas here.
- What kind of accommodations are normal for Qatar? Houses, apartments, Villa's, Condos? Are they large places - What you pay for is what you get. You can have poky apartments as well as lavish villas here.
- What would it cost for a 2-3 bedroom living space, or a 3-4 bedroom living space per month? - a 3 bedroom apartment fully furnished will cost you anything between QAR 6500 - 9000. A 3 bedroom villa will cost you anything between QAR 9000 - 12000... per month
- I can work out the cost of phones (via Qtel or Vodaphone). BB works here too, you can crack it here, we have genius Indians/ Pakistani's who are pro's at that :-P
- How good is internet access in Qatar? We surf the web a lot as is important to us. - Again what you pay for is what you get. There are various packages to suit your budget.
- What is the local TV like there? Can you get Sat from other vendors for like British sat or something? - The local TV is Mozaic, which according to me sucks because it's not HD :-( You can get different packages depending on your preference and amount you're willing to pay.
