We have an office in Doha, and reguarly send our people for long assignments. Some have taken their families to live in Qatar and seem happy enough. The costs that we budget for in Doha are:

- reasonable 3 bedroom villa £700 - £1000 (UK Sterling)
- food is about 20% cheaper than in the UK
- electricity is quite cheap compared to UK
- Petrol 7p per litre
- Cars can be purchased from departing expats
- Obviously no tax

A quick look at the currency coversion for UK to Qatar Riyal is: 6.745
