Thanks for your valuable inputs. I have a Corolla which is in a pretty good shape (only 30K kms done) and I have found out from agencies that it might cost 3-4K to ship to Doha and it reaches in max 4 days. So I plan to bring it down there - I don't plan to buy another car for atleast another 3-4 years :-)
All my funiture costed my about 20-22K when I bought them from Home centre and other places and they are exactly 1-year old. I have asked for quotes from a couple of shippers - lets see. Am keeping my fingers crossed on that one.
My company will pay for hotel / tickets for the first 6 weeks. Do you think I can get a place by then (from your experience) ? I see a lot of ads in Gulf Times - are these usually ready to occupy as they say 'New apartments' in the ad.
If I want to bring my family along with me when I land (so they can stay with me in the co-provided hotel room), is it OK, in terms of food / security etc? I am joining a leading financial institution - hope they will provide a decent hotel accommodation.
How big are the 1 / 2 bedrooms in Doha in terms of square feet. I live in Karama in Dubai in a fairly big 2-bedroom - about 1100-1200 sq. ft.
I see in this group where some say the rent of a 2-b/r flat is around 7-8K while some others say it starts from 10K and goes upto 15K. Is there so much of difference ? What is the rent for a 1-b/r in Doha - average based on your experience ?
For a f/f flat, what is given usually - are the things new or used ? Furniture standard - like IKEA / Home centre or the local market items ? Pls. clarify as this would help me greatly.
