2. Convertion of UAE Driving license to Qatar license.
3. Traffic situation in peak hours
4. Other important costs if different than UAE
LongTimeResident ...lol.. you must be kidding..
a) 1-2 BR flat in the area C-ring Rd (between Ramada to Toyota signal) is about 6500-9500.
b) Traffic in rush hours is a disaster in Doha!
.. are you sure you live in Doha? not Dukhan? maybe they have C-Ring rd in Dukhan as well?... then prices you indicated look ok... the same with the traffic...:)
oops... LongTimeResident has answered your questions.
Answer to your questions:
1. Cost of rent for 1/2 BR Appt in area near C- Ring road........ QRs.4000/- to 6000/- per month.
2. Convertion of UAE Driving license to Qatar license...........Can not get it converted unless you have a residence permit in Qatar.. You need a NOC from your Qatari sponsor... however, you can drive here with a valid UAE Driving Licence.
3. Traffic situation in peak hours ......... not much.
4. Other important costs if different than UAE............ allmost same.. not much difference here.
