Re: Is the cost of living the same in Abu Dhabi & Doha

Re: Is the cost of living the same in Abu Dhabi & Doha

Re: Salary Offer in Doha, Qatar

I agree. Costs have come down but it is still a pricey place to live if you are covering rent yourself. I would say it would be hard to save much and live comfortably.

Re: Salary Offer in Doha, Qatar

A lot of that will depend on any accomodation or car allowance, what kind of hours you'll be working, leave allowance/flights home etc etc? More info would be helpful.

Re: Housing the twins in Doha!

The first one that springs to mind would be Al Fardan Gardens. It's in spitting distance of the airport and is a large compound with nice houses and a lovely kids pool. (Remember though that there...

Re: Help with Qatar please?

DESS is a very good school but is only primary (up to age 11). Most DESS kids go on to Doha College (if they can get it in to it that it!!) from what I can tell.
