I'd rather have at least 5% more to live further away. I mean it's extra money, and Dukhan/Messaid isn't really that far away.

Plus, if you live in these places, you get to drive really fast down the roads, brake the odd time for the camera, and speed up again :)
Also, messaid is nice and close to the dunes, you could take your extra salary and buy a Quad, have fun there everyday after work :)

There's always a silver lining
