Sounds like there are a few areas for me to look at and also my budget might need a rethink. The pkg im being offered is 29750 inclusive of salary, housing and transport though so I have to be careful on spending too much on just accomodation. I've also read a few articles that say rent prices are coming down and will continue to drop in early '09, seeing as i get put up for 3 months on arrival, hopefully the rents will continue to drop and I can find something nicer for around 15,000 (nicer than what I've currently seen online).
Also does anyone know of any decent real estate rental websites or is it all done through forums and classifieds in Qatar ? In Australia we have a website http://www.realestate.com.au which allows you to look at the property, its location, floor plan etc but haven't been able to find anything even remotely similar for Qatar.
