Living Expenses and Drinking Water in Qatar
I recently was offered a job in Doha..I found here some useful insight about rental rates. What are the other high and costly expenses?I am also wondering about drinking water!Do people usually drink from tap or bottled water in Qatar?Since tap water got me sick once in my city!!
One liter mineral water is 1.50 Riyals and one litter petrol onlu 0.70 dirham (coin) but still water for 25 gallon you will get for 6-50 to 8 riyals. You can use boiled water (from tap) or mineral water your choice.

Qatar is not 'developing' anywhere. They're only building buildings.
Drink petrol. It's cheaper than water.
Bottled water is pretty cheap and lots of places sell large jugs for water coolers. There is very little to do here and there is a caste system between the different races, so luxary items aimed at the favored nationals and food targeted at westerners as well as western housing is expensive. Though most items have cheap alternatives.
What do you meant by other high and costly expenses??? For me, i would say you can term electronic or other costly gadgets as an expensive items..Do u wanna know about the cost of living in DOHA?? If yes, kindly take a look at the link below..

You can get the BOTTLED water here..There are many brands available here..I prefer AL RAYAN..All are good infact..
Its a nice & cool place to live.
Irrespective of what water you prefer to drink,its safe and heatlthy.you can even buy water by paying 7-8riyals per 20liter or can even use tap water.
Qatar is a very nice and clean country as its a small unlike our country due to 100 crores of population its very difficult for our governament to stop pollution/corruption/or dieseases spreading due to uncleanlines........something magically needs to happen to change our country's infrastructure.
But still i am proud to be an Indian and i love Qatar as well.
Qatar is indeed one of the fastest developing countries in the world. We are not living a primitive life here. However drinking Fuel is far cheaper than Mineral Water.
Jokes apart, You get all kind of Mineral Water in Qatar and that too from all parts of the world. I am sure there is a brand of mineral water of Jordan as well, coz i have seen and bought Lebanese brand as well. The water is really tasty.
Anyway the Tap water is very safe to drink in qatar, as long as you filter it. Water is being treated with best and latest technology here. So you need not worry.
In any case you have great quality mineral water here for you to enjoy and drink ! Cheers
