Hello Friends,

This is Alisha from India. I plan to shift to DOHA by this September. I wish to know what should be the reasonable salary for a person to earn at Doha in order to meet the expenditure of a family of 3 Adults and 1 kid.

What about Rent for a 1 / 2 BHK flat there ?

What could be the grocessary expenditure of a middle class family of 3 Adults and 1 Kid ?

What about Bus and Taxi Fares. Is it affordable.

Where could I get the prices of Groceries (Milk per ltr, Wheat, Rice etc.)at Doha on internet.

These are few questions coming to my mind. In case you can through lights on some other features of Doha. Do write.

Thanking you in Advance.

Alisha

Hi Alisha..

I would better rate the cost of living to be so high nowadays in Qatar..An Ideal family of ur nature would need round about Qrs.30,000/- to lead a decent life....

Better ask the company to provide housing....Rents are skyscraper high here...

2 BHK in a decent flat indivudal not sharing will cost u Qrs 9,000/-

And about Indian groceris and restaurants..U get everything here..U can just move in with a minimum clothes and some kitchen utensils...

Forget about public transport..its pathetic over here...Its advisable to get a license and get a car..Its rather easy to do that wat...

Everyday there is a question regarding cost of living of Doha. Eventhough its a repetition I will give some information

1. Rent for 1/2 Bed Room flat is 7500 to 12000 riyals

2. Rent a car 1800--2000 riyals per month

3. Telephone exp. 400 to 600 riyals

4. Milik 2 ltr. 10 riyals

5. Indian Vegitables 10 riyals per kg.

6. Bus fare is comparetively cheap own/rent vehicle is a necessity here, not a luxury.

Approximate grocerry expenses are aroung 4 to 5000 riyals for a family of 3+1

And you can do a serching for the related sites in this Form.
