I work in the education sector, so things might be different, but I've worked internationally for 15+ years, so ...

If you are required to find your own housing, then ask for a month of hotel. It's possible that they don't fully expect you to find a place within 2 weeks and require you to pay for the other 2 weeks of hotel out of pocket - that would be worth knowing about the company, and would be a big clue about what kind of company you're working for.

If they're providing housing in the form of a hotel, then they shouldn't have to pay a housing allowance as well. The housing allowance is for rent. Unless they expect you to pay for the hotel?
Transportation allowance - maybe the hotel they intend to put you up in is next door to your work? Definitely ask about transportation - maybe the hotel will provide a car & driver for you, in which case you shouldn't get the transportation allowance.

Ask for the shipment allowance to be put in the contract. Remind them of the verbal agreement. If they don't put it in, you have no right to expect it.

Education allowance for children - ask about it. It might be that they're hiring you as a person without children and that will be your status for the duration of your contract. (At one of my past jobs in another country about 10 years ago, 2 of the teachers wanted to get married but were hired as single people. When they wanted the benefits of the married couples, the school told them no so they decided to leave.) I also think it's kind of normal for employers not to put all contingencies in a contract.   

If they promised furniture allowance and health club membership to you, they should be in the contract.

I think it's very reasonable for you to ask about all these thing and why they're not in the contract. It just shows that you're thorough - don't feel bad about that. I know it's kind of awkward.
Also ask yourself if you'd do the job without those things. Because if they're not in the contract, you might not get them.

Hi,

Quick reply to all your queries.

Get the point 1 - 5 sorted out before you accept the offer. It is not advisable at all to move to a new country with too many ambiguities in the contract.

The suspension of housing allowance is normal when you are staying in a hotel but yes, there is no way you will find something in 2 weeks. You would need atleast 2 weeks. Better yet, check with the flat share section and share a flat with someone in Westbay for a while till you find a house.

Secondly get everything written in the contract. Shipment allowance, school assistance and membership allowance etc. should all be mentioned in the contract. You work in a bank. You should know that there is no such things a verbal agreement.

Qatar is not an easy country to move and therefore it is strongly recommended that you sort out everything before you move here.

Best of luck.

You'll want to get absolutely everything in writing. Not only in the offer letter but also in the contract.

Hello,
The most important is your job (salary) offer and you need to ask the bank (HR) for staff policy handbook and all your entitlement will be there.
Hope this help.
