Still trying to decide

Lills,

is this going to be your only form of income?

I am attaching a link to the gulf times classified section so that you can get a good look at the cost of housing in Doha.
It will show up as a pdf.

Gulf Times Classified

I seriously don't think that you can find adequate accommodation for that amount unless you share an apartment. Are your future employers going to pay for your accommodation until you can find a suitable place to live?

As for schooling, mine are not of that age but I would seriously recommend that you take a look at Expatwoman's Qatar forum & Doha Mumssite

they are both great for putting you in touch with other mums who can offer advice. Realistically I don't think 6000 per month is going to cover schooling as well as utilities, a babysitter/maid.

Good luck, I could be wrong and it may be 'do-able' but definitely check out those two sites I mentioned where there are some lovely ladies with tons of info

*edited to add, that school places are so hard to get at the moment. There is another thread in this forum that gives a list of schools with contact numbers/emails, they will be able to give you costings for children, and availability of spaces.
