Just got two difference offers from Doha, Qatar(25,000 QR all inclusive)and Abu Dhabi(25,000.00DHR).An as a Quantity Surveyor practising in UK. Is the offers right? and which one will be the best concerning accommodation and cost of living?
i dont know much about the career opportunities in ur field so cant advise in that department. the grocery prices are more or less the same(may be slightly cheaper in abu dhabi) than in Doha, whereas petrol is almost double in UAE. Electricity and water bills will also be higher there, not to mention the total absence of parking spaces especially free parking spaces.all these will significantly add to ur expenses.
the good thing is, u will not be stuck in one city(as we r in doha) instead, on weekends, u can go to dubai , sharjah, hatta or khorfakkan if u like.
Your offer is fine, I suggest go to Abu Dhabi's deal, its much more better to save there. The cost of living in Doha is enormous. Take care and good luck
Abu Dhabi is the best choice. This is true that these days it is difficult to find accommodation but if you ask your employer to provide you with the accommodation this will be the best solution. I am sure you will never regret the decision.Abu Dhabi has a future with so many real projects in pipeline and specially for a Quantity Surveyor with UK experience this job can be the base for other better opportunities. Good luck and go for it. Take my advise dont focus on present cost of living as these are highly volatile and misleading when I decided to come over in Doha April this year, it was based on good savings but in realty I found it other way round. I think when deciding about taking a job in Gulf, criteria these days should be better opportunity and quality of life and these two things no other city in Gulf provides except great Abu Dhabi.
my stay in Abu Dhabi was unforgettable and i would aways prefer it to Doha but frankly the present accommodatipon crises in Abu Dhabi has made life impossible for people who are new there. the rent are soaring but there is a severe shortage of accommodation and so even if u can afford the rent, u are unable to find anything vacant.the schooling problem is equally bad both in Doha as well as Abu dhabi

The companies are not ready to pay more...does that implies rejecting the offer?
Neither is acceptable !!!!! You need at least QR 45000.00 per month - I am serious okay! From a Brit on 27000.00 single status okay
I suggest Doha is the right place for U. When it comes the value of money same my friend but in Doha u can save a little than in Dubbbai...

Appreciate you guys-but my question is in two folds. Or I should take it that cost of living in Abu Dhabi is not as expensive as in Doha?
We lived in Abu Dhabi for 2 yrs and you will not regret it if you will choose it.
Without Doubt, ABU DHABI

Abu Dhabi the best green city u love to live there. Rest is hardly difference.
