Qatar living expenses
Hey friends,
I am looking for a consulting opportunity in Doha, Qatar. So wanted to know your prespective. I am an Indian with six years of experience and top b-school. If you do not mind, I have a long list of questions to seek expert guidance.
1. If I am there for around 12-15 months I need to buy a car or can I buy a second hand car? if yes, in how much QR/dollars?
2. How much would it cost to rent an appartment for a couple (me and my wife) in a decent secure and posh area?
3. Is it better to take unfurnished appt vs. furnished appt.?
4. How much does it takes to set-up the house with all essentials furniture and electrical appliances?
Many more questions but I do not want you to bombard in one go.
The name of the website says it perfectly. Qatar Living.

ur logo used to run in speed. Now where is it????
PLZ let me know the place where you get a decent place that too 2 BHK in 7k QR..
Hi,
I am good.
I was laways in Qatar.
where have you been man !!!
coz this depends on your choice of make/model and condition of the car.
2- For a couple 1bedroom would be fine. 1bd fully furnished will cost you between QR. 6,000/- - 8,000/- per month in a decent area .... and 10,000/- 15,000/- per month in a posh area ;-)
3- If you want to save money, I prefer you to take unfurnished appt. and do the furnishing as per your choice and budget.
4- This depends on your choice of Electric Appliance and Furniture. no one can give your est. cost.
You can google online or also on QL Classified section you can find some ads which can be helpful.
1. If you are here only for 12-15 months its better to go for a rent car. You can buy a decent used car for QR.25-30K plus depending on the make.
2. A decent two bedroom flat cost 7k minimum ….you might need only single bedroom..but its not very easily available. a furnished two bedroom flat will cost around 9 to 10K depending on the location.
3. It will cost minimum 20K to furnish an apartment, if you are planning only a short stay its better to go for furnished flat… I think you can even get a studio flats for 6 to 8K.
If you go for rent car and furnished flat you can avoid the hassle of selling your stuff while going back.
I am not an expert ...:)
