Cost of Living Comparision
10 July 2012
Hi,
I have 2 job offers at the moment, one in Doha and the other in Riyadh, the salaries are roughly the same with Saudi paying about 3k riyals higher.
I have Saudi is very strict with rules for Women and they cannot work or drive there.
I might choose to opt for qatar (Doha).
What the current prevailing rent rates in Doha for a one bedroom hall kitchen and cos of living compared to Dubai or Saudi.
The salary being offerred is 16k and we are a couple. Wife would surely work but that would be at a later date.
Thanks and looking forward to your reply as I have a couple of days to respond.

Good luck with your decision!

I am from India currently and have been offered a job in Doha. Is 9500 to 10000 riyals fine to accomodate for 2 people? What is the average rent in Doha for a 2 BHK or 1 BHK?

I think a salary of QAR 9,500 to QAR 10,000 may be a little tight for two people to survive.
Rent on a two-bedroom place is not cheap, at around QAR 7000-9000 per month on a two bedroom flat.
A car is also essential for expats living in Qatar - this will cost around QAR 2500 per month.
Take a look at the Cost of Living in Qatar page for more information.
