Working In Qatar

19 years ago

I am looking at possible work in Qatar and have been short listed for a two year government contract. I have a young family a wife, five year old daughter and new born child.

I would appreciate input and information on the following:

1. Work conditions in Qatar?
2. Standards of Health and education?
3. What would comprise of a typical package? I have bnever worked abroad and therefore am unsure on this - car and furnished accommodation?
4. What is the safety like for a young family in Qatar?
5. What are other pitfalls that I need to be aware of before accepting job?

I have heard mixed feedback from people having worked there from the one side of it been very safe and high standards to the neagtive side - strict laws, harsh threatment of contractors etc.

Any feedback will be appreciated and if you could kindly leave your e-mail address in the resposne I would like to be able to contact you for more detail. Mainly looking for responses from people either currently working there or who have just finished contracts there.

Many thanks
Franco
