Hi, recently I have passed interview and generally agreed on commercial for a job offer in Qatar, awaiting client approval. The company is McDermott. I will be based in Doha but often travelling as my work may require me working outstation or offshore.

Anyone worked there before can share what should i prepare and what can i expect in terms of cost of living, transportation etc? I will be relocating alone. The offer is like 30k QAR is an all in package with basic and fixed allowance for housing and travelling, not including offshore and outstation allowance. Annual return ticket those as basic.

This is first time i working abroad in the Gulf, so i would love to hear from anyone who worked there before.

Thanks!
