Wish I could provide you with reassurance but for a decent 1 or 2 bed place you are probably looking at US$2700+ a month. In West Bay US$4000+ would be a minimum, I've heard in some of he fancier buildings more like $5000+<BR/>some deals are available in the older neighbourhoods, and a lot of people share apartments.<BR/><BR/>Drivers here are manic but not as bad as Saudis. A Kuwaiti colleague told me that Kuwait is slightly worse than Qatar but not by much.Glen McKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120296462964981195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33947698.post-35202325574528880032008-11-14T04:11:00.000-08:002008-11-14T04:11:00.000-08:00Fellow Blogger Glen,Finally!

I'll be a regular reader as I'm moving to Qatar (after 7 years in Kuwait) in January. Check out my photo-blog at wwwglobalobelblog.blogspot.com.<BR/><BR/>I saw from one of your earliest blogs that you "do requests." I'm worried about maniac drivers and high rents. Any comments?!?<BR/><BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>LindaGlobal Obelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09391214158789508914noreply@blogger.com
