Qatar Shopping
If you’re a shopping lover, Doha is the place for you. Shopping in Qatar is unbelievable and, according to the ladies, who are specialists or somewhat mistresses of shopping, it is also considerably cheaper than in Dubai.
Here is a place where you will find lingerie from Paris, shoes from Italy, designer clothing from the U.S and U.K, antique daggers from Oman, traditional furniture from India, and desert truffles from Qatar and dates from Saudi Arabia.
Qatar is a place where you are given choice. You can choose to shop by traditional and cultural means or visit the modern shopping malls of today’s time. You can head out to the wholesale markets, browse through the Souqs (markets) that group close together in the centre of Doha, or enjoy the luxury and elegance of Doha's first class air-conditioned malls.
Bargaining is expected in market places and Souqs. In fact, even if you don’t bargain sometimes you will be given a discount anyway. If you are serious about bargaining, try walking away and see if the vendor will follow you. Quite often this can lead to a serious reduction in price - and if it doesn't, you can always return later.
Bargaining is not normally common in malls, although you can always get a reduction in price on expensive jewellery. So what are you waiting for? Prices said to be cheaper than Dubai, clothing from around the world with the elementary Souqs and markets, it is a must visit within the Middle-East.
