with regards to housing: look online and that will give you an idea. BUT best to wait untill you get here.
Company accom is generally suitable, but dont expect things to be 5 star standard. Things are a little different, but not that bad.
Typical villa will rent between 11k and 16k depending on your ability to negotiate and where it is.
Best bet is to do alot of driving around and asking when you get here.
good place to look is here(local rag: gulf times:
Gulf Times
ALOT of answers wont make complete sense untill you arrive here

Fuel is CHEAP! 1QR ltr.
Yes there is one Alcohol outlet, but there is rumour to be another opening soon.
Schooling: casnt help you on that one; apart from that schooling facilities are good, and I believe that the QR allowance covers most of it up to 105k QR (3 kids).
hope this helps.
Dont stress a great deal about it. If your smart and dont piss your money up the wall, you can live here modestly and save money.... after all, why else would you come here!
It aint going to be like your home, so get that out of your head right now. However, there are alot of little things, that if you let them, will grind on you and pee you off. So time to start the meditating now so your extra patient when you arrive
