You can get alot of the details in the cost of living section of www.iloveqatar.net or www.lifeonthespot.com

also women DO participate in sports... there is even a thread here where it's shown that a Qatari woman is wearing a leotard and performing public gymnastics. We don't live in the stone ages anymore :S
