I know this may be a biased question in a Qatar forum, but honestly, what's your advice for someone having 2 quasi similar offers, one in Doha and 1 in Abu Dhabi? and of course mutually exclusive :-)
well it depends what food you like to eat. you cook or get delivery fast food...basically theres loulou carrefour to get all your stuff i dont think you go more than 1000 to 1500 per month transportation you can rent a car buy one or arrange with a driver to pick/drop u everyday with around 600 to 1500 per month depending on the distance. sharing accommodation could be 1500 to 3000 master bedroom in a villa. or rent a studio.
thank u zouheir. i am not a good spender. i am more looking for savings.i am a bachelor and so could you let me know minimum monthly expenses total in dubai. basic expenses like food, sharing accommodation and local travel.
Dubai 14k at least you would be living a better life with a good night life social and cheaper place than Qatar ( but its still depends on your life style... Dubai is cheaper but has many many options but still with this options you can either go to places where you spend your whole salary in one night or go to places where you can enjoy as well without spending any... as per the accommodation pretty much high quality than Qatar for example my house rent is 6,000 2 bedroom at alSad its not bad but not good as much as my rent was in Dubai Marina , and Tecom with 4,000 per one bed room and 5,500 for 2 bedroom with high quality more facilities such as security gym pool etc... I suggest you to go further with Dubai. at the end its your decision. I've been in Dubai for 5 years and probably ill go back very soon unless honestly I got a job offer from a big company or/and governement in Qatar with good offer as I am looking for money since I am living abroad but if I got two same offers one from dubai other from qatar I will definitely go forward with the offer from Dubai.
So, ive lived in Abu Dhabi for almost two years, and been visiting Doha for almost a year and finally moved to Doha last month. Abu Dhabi is prolly the most organized city on the planet, Doha still needs 15 years to get that organized. Doha ..... :/ Abu Dhabi :D
Stay in Abu Dhabi, life is also cheaper over there by the way and night life is AMAZING.

You obviously haven't lived in Abu Dhabi itself. Parking is chronic and parked vehicles often damaged. We did over two years there and there were times when we returned late and the nearest parking spot was almost a taxi ride away.
It has got more to do than Qatar in particular The Club is outstanding.
I have lived in both places and there is no comparison, Abu Dhabi is 5-10 years ahead and the gap is only widening. Better road infrastructure, no exit permit system, easy lifestyle, concerts at Yas Island, etc...
abu dhabi rules ... Doha is nothing and never will get close to what abu dhabi is ... Better life ... better people ... friendly environment ... better locals ... (trust me Doha needs to educate all people how to treat people)
Abu dhabi does not have NOC system u can change jobs once u complete one year
Doha you get a 2 year ban even if your with a company with 20 years and they refuse your release
QATAR is prison my friend you come here and thats the end of your life in the middle east ...
hope this helps dont make the wrong choice that I did comming to this shit hole
Any one who compares the two cities proves hes hasnt been to one of them.
As someone who just came back from UAE last week, doha is not even close to what abu dhabi is right now. No contest.
AD has much much much more social/night life, infrastructure is generations ahead, the roads in abu dhabi are second to none, traffic is well taken care of and life in general is much better. Women are way way way nicer and much more social as well. Build quality of the houses is far ahead of what is available in doha and the city is much cleaner, greener and about a million times better organized.
As for roads, ill put it this way, i was at the officers club in Abu Dhabi late for my flight. So I told my taxi driver (mercedes e class wagon) to plz hurry to the airport. He was driving at 200-220kph only slowing down to 140kph for the cameras, and drove at that speed for a good 10 mins, and had me at my destination well before time. Roads in Abu dhabi are AMAZING.
Abu dhabi is the richest city in the world. And its built like it. Coming to doha from Abu Dhabi is like going 20 years back in time.
Abu Dhabi and Qatar are similar. Abu Dhabi is a lot more congested and trying to move towards being on par with Dubai. Probably more social outlets / things to do in Abu Dhabi and surrounding area.
Qatar's winter months are brimming with unmissable experiences, from the AFC Asian Cup 2023 to the World Aquatics Championships Doha 2024 and a variety of outdoor adventures and cultural delights.

job in Doha with 10.5k riyals provided accommodation,food n transportation is best or
job in Dubai with 14k dirhams without any other benefits is best?

Are roads similar in Abu Dhabi & Qatar ?
There are no ring roads...
Dono : Work in Abu Dhabi, but please pay a visit to us....in Qatar.
