prices here in Doha / Qatar are high, the daily shopping things (grocery) are cheaper in Germany. Rents are sky high and 6000QAR is not enough you will get most probably a nice tent. Level up to at least 9000 / 10000 QAR then you will find something. Don’t believe what real estate promises you, landlords here are not user friendly at all they will squeeze the money out of your wallet. And all people here want to get a nice big piece off the cake, atar is a booming place (Goldtown). About your girlfriend: If she is not working here then she will not get a visa just a tourist visa for 4 weeks and then again and again. This if she is from one of the recognised countries (Brasil e.g. is NOT on the list, Germany YES). Tourist visa is now 100QAR (inflation, last year 55QAR).Inflation is the magic word here, prices are slowly creaping up, everything is more expensiv then it was last year (inflation roughly 10%). Es lässt sich hier in Qatar aushalten, wenn Fragen da sind einfach melden. Otto
