Living in Qatar?

Have been asked to consider a management position, based in DOH, but not working for QR! Monthly salary will be around QAR 28000, with another QAR 18K for housing, 10K for schooling of two kids, 5K for a car and 1K for utilities.

On top of that, the wife will also be offered a part-time job in the company as my PA, earning around QAR 10K a month.

Now Qatar is not, not even by a long shot, anywhere near the list of places I desire to live. Rather the opposite, actually. Therefore, unless this is a deal that will enable us to save up a substantial amount over a period of 2-3 years, while living very comfortably, I'll give this offer a miss.

Question is, will this make for a comfortable living for a family of 4, including 2 kids of 10 and 15, and offer the opportunity of building a nest egg?
