As compared to Dubai, the cost of accomodation inside doha for a 2Bed room hall apartment is almost same i.e 7000-9000 per month as per location and condition. However if u r living outside Doha then u will get the same thing in little bit less price i.e 5000-7000

As far as transportaion is concerned it is less expensive then that of Dubai bc of fuel price and less places to go for outing.

Food is again same price as that of dubai but little bit costly in big restauratns and malls especially for asian foods

Altogether, u dont have to bother about the expenses as it is almost same as that of Dubai. However, u will require more time to adjust here bc of inferior infrastructure of the city as compared to Dubai

Depends totally on what you want? And how much you want to spend and how much you want to save.

For eg, a normal Indian family of husband - wife and 1 kid, if it has been provided with Company Acco and Car, can very easily make do in 3000 QR...

Entirely depends on your salary and expected standard of living.

A room for 1500QRs or a villa near the pearl for 30000QRs

If you just want a Villa in a 'normal' area they are about 10000QRs for a decent one.

There are lots of previous posts about the cost of living here, just do a search and you will find a great deal of info.

1. Cost of living/living condition --- Both have been discussed for number of times on QL...Just type the relevant word in the SEARCH BOX(right side of QL screen)..

2. Travel --- depends where your office is and how far it is from your place of living...

3. Availabitliy of accomodation --- No problem at all if your budget is more than QR 10000..:))

Don't worry, you will get decent flat even below the range of QR 10000 but you wil not get few facilities that you might get when you pay more..Since you've not specified that whether you need 2BHK or 1BHK, difficult to guide you...

4. Cost of travel --- still depends where you will be staying finally...If you have your own/company car, well and good or else you can hire KARWAN(private taxis)here..
