#Zionnite on May 23, 2013 :
Thanks for giving all this info. Out.
But am coming to qatar to school, i just finish my senior secondary school and i will love to work in qatar.
Pls i just need a word to turn me to the right direction.....
#michael on May 23, 2013 :
i have no skill but want to come to qatar to work.am a graduate anyway but dont know how i may survive while there can u tell me what it will look like

#Sanju on May 20, 2013 :
I have got job with pay of 3000 riyals in Qatar is it worth.. food and accommodation provided..
#Kashif on May 19, 2013 :
Salaray of 30K QAR (if house rent is included) seems reasonable for a decent living (for Pakistan/India/Asian). But it also depends on your life style. If you live a simple decent life you may be able to save 40%-50% of your salary.
Keep in mind that the education expenses for children are quite high if u send them to good schools.
#Anonymous on May 11, 2013 :
I got a job in QU with salary 30000 QR. Is it good?
#Austin on Apr 02, 2013 :
Please how much is the average monthly salary of a graduate working in Qatar in Naira? And what is the condition of workers in Qatar?
#Anonymous on Nov 12, 2012 :
Prices here are rather odd.
Gasoline is highly subsidized and there are a lot of Land Cruisers Gas cost 1QR per Litre Honest, it went up from 80 Dirhams last year. This is for Super/high octane.
Similarly Pepsi is 1QR too cheap and too popular with the kids by far.
Alcohol is outrageous as you have to have a licence which requires a deposit of 1000QR and a letter of no objection from your employer.
