Relocating to Doha - Housing, Car and Gym questions
Hi,
I'm sure my questions are not new to most but would appreciate first hand feedback. Thanks in advance for the advises.
I will be relocating to Doha in 2 months or so for employment purposes. My questions are...
1. Housing. Looking for 1 or 2 bedrooms fully furnished serviced apartment in a good neighborhood with good amenities surrounding the area within walking distance (eg, banks, supermarkets, gym, restaurants, malls etc). Where will be the best location to start hunting for this... closest to the above requirement as possible.
2. I'm planning to spend about 120k QAR on a car for city driving (work to home and back, around the city during off days). My ideal will be a SUV type like CRV or Murano. (a) Can this budget accomodate my plan to get a SUV? (b) Is it advisable to get a SUV?
3. Gym. Looking for a bodybuilding gym with full free weights, weight machines including cardio machines. Any recommendations?
Thanks and hope someone can guide me to prepare for my relocation.
Cheers...

STEVE, A 1-2 B/R FURNISHED APARTMENT SOMEWHERE IN THE C/D RING ROADS MIGHT COST YOU AROUND 8-9K A MONTH, HOWEVER, I DOUBT THIS MIGHT NOT B SERVICED ONES. U CAN FIND SERVICED APARTMENTS IN THE WEST BAY AREA WHICH WD BE MORE EXPENSIVE, IN THE RANGE OF 14 -17 K A MONTH.
MOST OF THE BANKS ARE IN AND AROUND THE CORNICHE, THERE R A FEW IN THE D RING ROAD TOO. SHOPPING CENTERS ARE ALSO WALKABLE DISTANCE. U CAN FIND THE GOLD'S GYM TOO IN THE D RING ROAD.
BTW, WHICH COMPANY ARE JOINING?
