hi there Hope4all. sorry for the delayed response regarding your queries and i understand what you really want. the responses from the members here are all correct. and i just wanted to include some inputs:

in the rate that you ask, is that your basic rate or the whole package? i've been working here for a year here in Doha in a consulting & engineering office as an admin-recruitment and as per my experience and knowledge, you should be aware that basic salary doesn't include your allowance. and yes, rental housing/accomodation here are so expensive now and it will move high sooner or later. plus the fact that transport services are rare here, for sure getting your own car will be your necessity.

now, the bottomline of this is you must ask the basic + allowance, your hours & days of work per week, and your working contract with them.

the company you're saying has a good background and with your nationality, i can assure you they won't let you down. how i wish i am with the same citizenship you have...

wishing you more of goodlucks ahead!

cheers!
