2. A good neighbourhood to live, i am a single and would like a elegent but affordable location to live. Near the markets and some where i can go for a evening walk
All your responses would be appritiated

Qatar is way backward/boring if you compare it to with DUBAI but anyhow HOUSE RENTS have gone up but as your pakistani and im' quite sure you will be having a NORWAGIEN passport, so no problem at all for you and might have been offered an extaordinary salary package. Just hop in and enjoy living in Qatar.

If you are seeking normal shops like ANARKALI in Lahore type then go for area like NAJMA,MANSOURA,MUNTAZAH,BIN MAHMOOD,BIN OMRAN etc. You will find almost all kinds of shops & restaurants in above mentioned areas
.
But if you are seeking LUXURY & QUIET LIFE then WEST BAY,AL SADD,DAFNA,MADINAT KHALIFA etc might be suitable for you.
.
Malls (), Hypermarket, Amusement Parks for families, Entertainment (costly) are very less.
.
Anyhow, you may contact me at [email protected] when you arrive in Qatar. I belong to Lahore and will be very much delighted to help you out in Qatar
Such questions have already been answered in previous posts here. However, to give you a quick view, here is the response:
1. Standard of living is acceptable. It may not compete with Dubai, but has its own charm
2. West Bay / Dafna area is good. City center is at walkable distance and you can go for your walks at corniche.
