Some questions about Qatar...

Hi All;

I am a 24 years old guy from Turkey.

I got a job offer in Qatar and as you can guess I have tones of questions in my mind, mostly about Life in Qatar.

Most important thing that conserns me is, religion and conservativeness.. How is that in Qatar? Can I live a life like in Turkey or Europe? Like can I drink, Can I go out and socialise with people at night? Or how different things are?

Also about cost of living, as a single man, living alone, how much per month would be enough for me to live a comfortable life and save some money on it?

Thank you very much.

Kindest regards

If you have a valid alcohol purchasing license you can buy and drink alcohol at your own home. There are also bars and clubs in the various hotels around Doha. Unless it is a bar/club I don't advise drinking alcohol in a public because it may be illegal.

Yes you can drink, you can go out and you can meet people anytime of the day.

As for expenses, that's relative so don't know
