Hi There.
So your after more info on Qatar hey.
I used to live there for 5 years and 5 in Kuwait.
Accommodation can vary from some gruby appartement to a villa in a nice compound! ( By that I mean an estate, basically a group of villas with loacal ammenities) It all depends on how much the company is willing to pay for your accom! As your single you will most definately get a flat.. Some are very nice some aren't just depends! When you go over for an interview/ check out the accom before you say yes!
As for cost of living very cheap, eating out is very cheap, fuel is 5p/litre! Taxis are the only public transport and one of those will set you back 4pounds from one end of town to the other. The whole place is about 30mins from one end to the other!
Sports facilities are pretty good but not as good as it's counterparts in DXB/BAH.
Beaches too aren't bad, although some have a substantial rubbish problem (mostly due to locals just throwing stuff onto the beach!)
On the whole not too bad can get a bid boring in summer (very hot) and yes some people are always looking forward to the anual leave!
What company are youi working for out there.
QR/GF, Gulf helicopters?????
If its the later accom aint too bad.
Regards JT
