Can anyone advise me on where should I get rent. Insyaallah I will be taking up a job with UPDA. I'll be given a housing allowance QTR5K.
Can anyone advise me where should I look for accomodation within that budget.

Thank you and regards.

Thank you for the advice. I'll google mughalina and mumtaza to see their location with respect to AlQassar/Al Dafna.

Dufna will be a costly deal, better try in Mughalina,Mumtaza there you can find 2 bed flat for the same cost

better you go for a part of villa, with independent entrance. First you confirm that which area your office situated.because traffic is big problem here.

Milla's right about the accomodation. You may try to find some room or studio in Al Wakhra or in the industrial area. Good luck.

the question is not WHERE should you get rent. The question is IF you can get a rent for this amount.. and the answer is: GRAB the first BEST place that you can find for this price...

it's really law budget.. but you still can get a nice room in sharing accommodation or villa for this price

agree with mila, better ask company to provide accomodation, and by the way living costs are also hight, take care.

thats very low budget. please take note, 5k its only give you one studio flat. good flat for bachelor will cost around 7k above and good villa will cost you around 12k - 25k. better asked them to give you company accomodation.

Everybody is right everybody is wrong it depends where you stand.
