It depends on the benefits and your profession and experience,

Congratulations!

The salary you have been offered is good, utilities, gas, electricity etc. are not so high but housing and kids' education consume a large sum of your salary, if you are not covered by your office.

Yes, you have to buy a car as public transport is hardly available to all areas and walking from the bus stop is hard in extremely hot weather.

You are supposed to care about the society culture in dressing and attitude both.

Hi, I think it is best if u can google search your country vs doha and get it online.

Fuel cost is 1 riyal per litre!

Telephone is not cheap but electrical, fuel energy is available in plenty...
