There are countries with even lower living costs,it is all relative ,we have to consider the average salary the people in similar positions get elsewhere ,you have to make sure that you get compensated for the extra bucks you spend here for the same service or goods that otherwise would have cost you (claimed to be less)in the KSA and the UAE, hordes of people are coming to Qatar from those countries simply doesn't make sense,sacrificing the low cost living for just to be in Qatar?
