Questions on relocations

Hi all,

I am currently in Singapore and would be moving to Doha next month on a 12months contract job. Though I did some research of my own , still need first hand experience of you guys. Kindly answer these doubts of mine:

1. I am into IT and would be on a contract with the consultancy firm. They are not providing any medical cover or insurance. They are not providing any paid annual leaves as well. Just want to know if its normal or do I need to negotiate with them? BTW how are the health facilites in Qatar?
2.On net I have read there is some tax arising out of business activities. Is there any tax on professionals in IT field as well?
3. How much would be a 2 room house cost which should be around half an hour away from airport road?
4. Any Indian families over there as I am married would be with my wife there, would love to meet fellow countrymen and also friendly people from all nationalities out there.

Hope people would be kind enough to respond to my queries. Thanks a lot in advance.
