28k is good but make sure the package includes free housing. Rents have shot up drastically here in qatar.
For a couple with 1 kid a 2 BHK would be ample space if you aren't the partying type. Rates vary like a
2BHK Qrs. 60000+ , Small Villa qr. 12-15k . There are
very nice places to live in like Hilal, Al Waab (Gated Communities) etc. but then the rent rates are very high.
Housing should be the main issue your hubby has to negotiate with his potential employer. Ask for a decent 2BHK Apartment in Doha Area and take up employment only
if provided.
Indian Schools are several : MES Indian School, Ideal Indian School, DPS, Birla Public School etc. all CBSE syllabus. July-Aug is summer vacation time. Schools reopen in Sept . The Academic Year is the same as in India - its only the vacation period that is different. Driving Tests depend on whether you are new or have an indian licence. For the former a full course of around 30-40 days is needed, otherwise a 12-day course will do. A full course entitles you to 3 tests - so in case you fail one you could make up in the next.
Additionally you get credits for the L, S, Parking etc and need not be repeated in the next test in case you fail one. A word of caution - Driving here in Qatar needs extreme care. I'd suggest you go for a full test
and u need familiarisation with the roads. A lot of building activity is going on with road blocks everywhere.
For women jobs should not be hard to find. Life is
interesting for true blue socialites with many clubs . There is an exclusive Indian Womens Club if you are interested.
All said and done Qatar is the best place in the gulf to stay despite all shortcomings.
WELCOME TO QATAR (been here for a loooooooonnng time)
