When it comes to accommodation in Doha, you'll rarely find a 2-bedroom villa. Villas tend to be more suitable for family. If you are looking for a 2 bedroom apartment then you'll find that prices vary drastically according to where you choose to live.
A two bedroom place in Al Saad will cost between QAR 7,000 and QAR 9,000 a month but a two bedroom apartment in the Pearl will cost between QAR 14,000 and QAR 16,000 per month.
