Hi, I can give some estimates to you. To be very honest, you do not save as much as you think you will. Cost of living is high but I personally think it is worth it for the experience. cost to rent a car, basic saloon type is min 1600 Qar per month, if you need suv type its nearer 3000 but you can buy a good suv for 70000 which if you sell for half what you pay costs 1000 per month inc insurance and servicing. rent varies greatly across the city,i would think your rent allowance is not enough. utiliesi costs depend on the accomodation, some places have aircon costs separate and some include with electricyt and water. cost of internet is high, at least 350 per month and more for tv to be included with good channels.you should expect to pay out seeveral deposits, 1 month rent in advance plus when you sign a lease you pay by cheques in most cases, providing a year up front. you have to pay 2000 deposit for kahramaa the electric andwater vendor and liquor licence 1000. food costs at supermarket are higher than uk i think. for 2 people i spend about 350 a week. alcohol at the liquor store isnt too pricey.between 170 and 250 for. crate and wine from 40 a bottle. you are allowed to spend up to xx amount based on salary. max allowance is 7000 per month. the schooling allowance sounds good. some companies only give 25000 per year per child which for nursey would cover it. medical is pricey and dental and sometimes insurance does not cover but it depends on your policy and limits.
to be honest, i am not sure the allowances are enough if you are looking to save lots but i hope this helps you to decide.
