Requesting a virtual tour

Welcome kalkar. I will try to answer at least some of your questions.

The GSM phones as long as they are unlocked work just fine. I don't think you will find a shared accommodation for less than 60-70KD. The public transport is not expensive as I understand. Most agree that rest of the expenses are around 100KD per month. You need to use bottled water and apartments don't necessarily have internet connections.

I woul think hard before coming here for the salary you have been offered. Life is not cheap here, apart from the gas which you most likely won't be using.

you wont find places of accommodation near it,but you can find it in areas from where the public transport goes to avenues mall.it will be mostly in west of farwaniya.

you will have to share accommodation because of the rent rates nowadays are pretty high. you will find something good and spacious in around 200 above.

there is not a problem with drinking water,you can get a filter in your kitchen and use it.

not all  buildings are equipped with internet facilities,but you can check the internet service providers offers and rates on their websites
