Hi, I just want to ask you, if you mean the housing allowance 10,000 ryal is per MONTH not annual? Because there is no way you can have decent apartment under 10,000 ryal per month here. Especially if you have two kids. Our housing allowance is about 10,000 ryal per month and it's not good enough. There are two french school, my son used to go to french school in other country but now we decided to put him into international school. I think one of the french school is now building another school so to be able to accommodate more kids. Living expense in Doha is very high. Higher than I thought anyway. Transportation allowance is also not that good, but depends on how you want to live, I guess.

Hope it will help. I am not living there at the moment but I am also moving to Doha in a couple of month so I am also researching a lot.

All the best!
