he said the salary excluding the housing, so i assume the company will pay for the housing. But probably i read it wrong.

medical is not free... medical is subsidized by governmet but it is not free.

The life in Doha is very expensive I'll try to give examples:

Accomodation is around 6000-8000 per month,2 rooms .

Medical is free from the country in the government hospital.it's nice one but little bet crowded due to free one.

The car arround 1500-2000 as credit for 1300-1600 CC.

The offer sounds good u can manage to live & yr wife can work with arround 7000-12000 so it'll be amazing life..

The life here is so relaxing & 100% peace

how old is your kids? will your company paying for schooling? as greeker said, try to search using the search button on the left. It seems your salary allright. I am just concern with your school fees.

u asking about schooling ... my son schooling in DESS cost over 7.000 QR per term.

I am in no way experienced to give you a comment, coz i am not married and i dont work in your line of work.

But from a laymans point of view, i think the deal really is ok. But you can do two things...

a) Wait for others to respond.

b) type in the words salary or something similar on the search box on the left oif this page and hit enter. Chances are you will find everything you need and more there.

All the best, man. Have a good time in Doha.
