Thank you MaryCatharine, and UKEngQatar, for your helpful comments.  Rojivese I am not quite sure where you are coming from.  Maybe it is the wonders of the impersonal nature of type but your comment appears strange, almost rude. 


MaryCatherine, you are right the question was vague with details.  I was just looking for a more conclusive and up to date list.  I mean, food, to but and at a restaurant, appears reasonable but is it really QR35 for a beer? 


It was just everyday costs I was looking at.  Accommodation should be covered with the allowance.  I may have to limit my expectations but it should be covered.  Education and medical also covered.


Petrol looks cheaper than the UK.  How is car insurance in comparison?  I have not found that on a search.


I will have another look through the website but if I again don't find the answers I will try asking again.


Thanks in advance,


JB
