Are you still living in Bulgaria or are you living in the US?
If you work back to what the amount would be in your currency of choice, then you will know whether or not its worth it.
QR1,800 is a little less than US$600 or EUR400. Is this what you'd be earning in Europe or the US.
Tipping is not a widely known phenomenom in this country. Most places charge a service fee, but if the staff see any of it, its a miracle as usually the estabishment hold on to it. However, since its a 5* hotel that might be different.
If thats the salary offered in 2015, then I would suggest you don't take it. Standard of living is going up all the time. Taxis are between 15 - 60QR, depending on where you want to go. Movies are QR35 a time with a Popcorn and Coke working out about QR20. Alcohol is extremely expensive, even with your staff discount.
I would suggest you think long and hard about this move.
