a decent accomodation would cost 5000 to 5500, schools will cost at least 14K per annum for KG, but 15K is still OK. all the best.

I dont have any idea on schools but at least you can get a good 1/2 BR flat at 5000.

U can get a nice flat at QAR 4000/-..

I suggest u should have many choices in hand..so u can select d best!! and always better to directly deal from the owner or any real estate co.

Dear 7assaant & Raechie,

What is the average cost for 1/2 BR flat and fees for Grade 3 child in a modest English school.

If you'd like a decent flat with 2 rooms, a salon, a bathroom and a kitchen, do not think below QR5000 or even QR6000 unless you want to live far from Doha and in an old accommodation. Other costs amount may be up to you.

Generally speaking, a QR15000 salary for a family of 2 parents and a child can be described as good.

Well its very difficult to get flat in 4000 because here rents are very high nowadays .They are saying it will be down but till yet now nothing happened yet..
