thanks for the advise princess1. The offer I got in Dubai is 22,000 AED/month plus a signing bonus of 15,000 USD. The job is in in one of the companies located in DIC. Im trying to negotiate for the accomodation to be included, but jst in case its not, I'm eyeing to rent a place somewhere near there - The Greens, The Springs, The Meadows. Would you have any idea on the rental rates there?

I'm just a bit curious (little worried also)that the career move Im doing is the opposite of what others (such as yourself) are doing -- meaning moving to Qatar from Dubai, and not the other way around. Is there something else that I should consider to make an informed decision?
