I moved here a month ago from dubai. Pls note the following.

1.Get ur company provide u an appartment. Rents in doha are really crazy..Much worse than dubai.

2. Cost of living is generally higher by 20 - 30% in doha. Phone calls, grocery, food etc. All these are generally costlier here. Petrol however is cheaper.

3. Doha is a very quite place compared to duabi. other than staying indoors..there is'nt much to do here. No amusement or beach parks for an outing in weekends.

4. Changing jobs is virtually impossible here.And if u are career oriented qatar wud'nt be a gud option.

all said..if u cud get the accomodation bit resolved for say 8k per month...u shud be able to save 15k every month.

Cheers.
