this is comparatively good offer.

you can limit all your expenses within 5K Qrs/month if you are single even couple, for an executive level life.

I am planning to bring along my mother in another 6 months . How about a family in the above salary. Also how about local transportation. Are buses available or cabs cheaper

With shared accomodation you can live quite ok in QR 5-6000 a month. Would be sufficient to enjoy your stay. Dont have to limit yourself within work and home..it may drive you crazy ...so enjoy as long as it lasts keeping an eye on what you want in the form of savings. I would only say, dont go overboard in saving (though you are better placed to decide).

Yup if u take written list to Hypermarkets, travel light to back home without buying stupid gadgets or chocolates to relatives and if u keep ur wallet promise that u can survive in few pair of clothes for several years here in Doha... Trust me don't spend at all... Keep urself busy on Internet and music and doing ur office n home work... Don't drink or smoke or eat heavy stuff... Be vegetarian and jeep ur profile low.... After two years you will try to search me to say thanks becoz u will be multi millionaire by my advises :)
