MY HUSBAND DRIVES THERE EVERY DAY , SOME COMPANIES PROVIDE TRANSPORT . ALL DRIVING IN DOHA IS SCAREY TILL YOU GET USED TO IT BUT IT IS A DECENT HIGHWAY WITH MANY SPEED CAMERAS . X
Hello Qatar lady,
Thanks for your reply, is travelling from Doha to Ras Laffan ok? looking at 1 hour journey, it is safe to drive? any public trasportation available to this areas?
Is there anything else I need to consider before I make my decision? you can best advice me since you been here long.
Thanks again.
RAS LAFFAN IS APPROX 1 HOUR DRIVE FROM DOHA AND A REMOTE AREA WITH NO FAMILY ACCOM. THE NEAREST TOWN BEING AL KHOR WHERE I LIVED SOME YEARS AGO BUT YOU WOULD BE BETTER MAKING YOUR HOME IN DOHA AND TRAVELLING TO WORK THIS WOULD BE FAR BETTER FOR YOUR WIFE AND BABY .X
Hello Qatar Lady,
Thanks for your reply, I am not sure of about housing at Ras Laffan, is there any accomodation in this area? what about transportation to this area?
How much would be an average living expense for 2 adults in qatar?
Thanks
Hello MRST,
Thanks for your reply, well my baby is now only 7 mth old, looking at the salary figure i am not sure on how they workout the ratios.
Is Ras Laffan located in a rural area? outskirt of city?
Thanks
Yes, you can survive.
I am 100% sure You can not get this type of salary in Malaysia
So
don't ask
Make the decision by yourself
Depends for which job. If you are a tea boy it's good, if you are a mechanical engineer it's not.
IT'S NOT ENOUGH ESPECIALLY THE HOUSING ALLOWANCE , GO BACK AND ASK FOR REVIEW I'VE LIVED HERE TEN YEARS AND MY HUSBAND IS AT RAS LAFFAN . YOU NEED 10,000 LIVING AND MINIMUM 15,000 SALARY , TAKE CARE X
Yeah, it's reasonable enough...
next query, please!
yes you can survive since your kid is only a baby. Schooling here is expensive so since your kid is still a baby, nothing to worry now. Should be able to save as well if u r not a big spender.
COST OF LIVING IS DEPEND ON HOW YOU SPEND. IF YOUR SALARY OFFER IS HIGHER THAN WHAT YOU ARE RECEIVING AT THE PRESENT, THEN GRAB IT. IF NOT, THINK ABOUT IT...
go for it, you can survive with that offer
welcome to Qatar
how old is the baby? any schooling once your kid gets older? school fees are a killer
Transport seems very low and is not enough to lease a car and if used for installments will not get you something save
not sure about housing and whats the best option as you are located in the dessert.
12128 QR seems a very funny number to offer to someone anyway I guess good 1/2 you need to spend for food, utilities, mobile, TV and so on if you intend to have your own space and not shared as I understand some families do as well.
you can survive with this salary
