Bro, that's not enough I think, the cost of food here is expensive, especially that your family is here, you need a bigger budget for food. If the employer will shoulder school tuition fees for your kids, 1500 for food allowance & free medical insurance, I guess that might be fine. But it really depends on your position. Decide smartly bro... Good luck

It depends on your expectations of lifestyle really. For some this would seem a very comfortable existance but for others may seem very low.

The housing section is ok as long as it is large enough to suit your expectations for something suitable for your family. Most accomodation provided in in the form of apartments and sometimes they are quite small so this may be an issue if you are used to a house and yard etc. In summer your kids will be indoors 100% of the time due to the heat, so this is something to consider as a family. Having a car provided will be very helpful and is not that common here as far as I know. If you wish to let us know what country you are from etc it may give us a better opportunity to let know know if Qr6000 will provide you with the type of food, entertainment and clothing etc you are used to. Best of luck

Biggest expenses here are accomodation, transportation and telephone calls to home country. Last one is in your control. Since you have the other two, you can easily save 1000 QR per month assuming you dont eat out much and dont do much of shopping.

You need about double that with a family. The medical card is not enough and you should ask for medical insurance, life insurance etc.

The exit situation here is also problematic so ask for multi-exit permit.

It depends upon what is your profession and other experience.It is very hard with this salary if you want to stay with family here.

Becoz the life is very very expensive.Try to get education expenses atleast. Make sure medical also covered. If not get health card Qr.100 per year per head to use in govt hospital.

Generally if housing is provided please note the expenses as below for normal family.Make sure water and elec also will be paid by them if not you need QR.200 pm

Food 2500pm

Education in normal ind school for 2 kids including bus fee Qr. 1200.

Taxi or other transport up and down QR.300

Personal phone expenses Qr.400

Entertainment / parties / functions Qr.300

Un expected/Misc expenses like traffic violation/some other QR.300

Remaining is Qr.1000 only that is also if you are lucky.You need to tighten much to save this one.

Add 20 to 25% hike every year.
