Well let me welcome you first...I have only been here 7 months now... and all I can say is.. if you want to get around in Doha, its best to drive... it may seem difficult getting used to the driving culture on the roads here.. but hey.. i used to drive on the other side of the road in my country.. and if i do it here.. why not you?

As for accomodation... a one bedroom furnished apartment... easily QR7,000 per month....depends really what you are looking for....but there are loads of agents.. so no worries... look for somethin temp.. don't rush and find yourself something.. I think Bavaria suites has 1 studio apartments for QR8,000... in absolutely township locality....check it out first... before you decide...
