Hi Qatari

• furnished housing;
• international and local medical care;
• life insurance and disability insurance;
• annual return flight from home of record;
• all tuition fees paid for dependent/s (3 total) who meet the admission standards and attend Qatar Academy;
• shipping allowance;
• all utilities paid (except long distance and mobile telephone calls);
• all visas, resident permits arranged and paid for;
• one month's salary for every full year of service;
• access to Qatar Foundation fitness center and pool;

Is it any good? Thank you for your answers in advance!

It would entirely depend on where you are in your career. If you are 25 years old this might be the adventure of a lifetime. If you are 50, I would say stay working where you are 40K isn't enough to keep you in cigarettes and beer.
