Wish you a nice stay in Qatar and lots of fun.

Have been checking the figures provided by PM. Guess they are on the very high side.

Would like to elaborate and review the fugures:

1. Car. Depends on the size of the car (saloon or 4x4). Also if the car is brand new or pre-owned. Anyhow, the monthly cost would vary from 1000 to 3000 per month depending also on the number of instalments.

2. Phone/internet: you would be fine with 500 monthly unless you use your mobile phone heavily

3. Cable: I have no idea about the cost. Personally I am using Free-to-air satellite. One time cost of 1000 max

4. Grocery: should be less than 2500 if you dine our frequently. Mind you, need to add cost of alcoholic drinks.

5. Dining out/clubbing: Dining vary from 25 to 200 per transaction. Clubbing should be something between 50 and 100 per transaction.

Hope I have covered everything.
