By eagomes

Soon I will move to Doha to work and I am trying to get a realistics figures for my monthly budget. Considering that I,m single, after a quick survey I got the following amounts:

2 BR apartment = qar 8500
Electricity + Water = qar 400
Telephone+Internet+Cable = qar 650
Auto lease + Ins. + Fuel = qar 2000
Groceries = qar 1500
Movies or EatingOut once a week = qar 500

I appreciate comments on the figures above.

Best Regards to all .

places like chillis or applebees will set you around QR 100 and whereabout for 3 course meal.

hotel buffet will be from QR 150 and above plus taxes

if you eat in cheapy places like thai snack (still good food) will cost you 25 QR with the drink :-)

If you're talking hotel restaurant then somewhere in the $50-$75 range, otherwise $20-$30.

Depends where you eat out and if you drink alcohol, then it could get more expensive. otherwise you're close for an average lifestyle.

that would be enough but just in case u can't find this 2BR apartment for that amount make an adjustment for another 1,000QR and that's reasonable.
