Oryx, I just rented a flat and saw quite 2 bedroom flats for that price, and that was less than 3 weeks ago. I saw a fully furnished flat in Al Sadd for 8.5k, and the flat was really big. But it was a plain building, no amenities whatsoever.

Camila, traffic here is awful, really bad for such a small place. But at least cars are a lot cheaper than in Brazil : ) And petrol is cheaper than water. Really.
