I am wondering if the prices in Doha are higher than in the UK. Can there be good deals on sale like lets say jeans for 60-100 QR? Just want to get an idea. Thanks
Thanks, guys. That was really helpful. I am still in the UK. But soon will be moving.I am going to bring everything from here I guess. As the prices here are fantastic now like linen trousers at Next on sale are £8 (44 Qrs). So don't think anything could beat that on price and quality.
I agree that now the exchange rate is so low then clothes are deifnitely cheaper back in UK especially with the great sales that are on there at the moment. Unless you buy from a recognised brand here the quality is not very good, so my is advice take a holiday back in uk and fill your suitcase with all the bargains there!!
It depends on the brand. As a general rule most UK brands (such as BHS, Next, M&S, H&M) are priced at an exchange rate of QR7 to £1. As the current rate is closer to QR5 to £1 clothes will be cheaper in the UK. On top of this retailers are discounting heavily in the UK because of the recession.
If you look at some French or Spanish brands (Zara) they are cheaper in Doha.
When the exchange rate was 7 clothes were the same if not cheaper than in the UK. But now the rate has dropped to nearly 5 clothes are definitely more expensive here.
I think clothes prices are higher in UK than here..but it's always wiser to buy clothes during Sale season as u can really get good deals during those times..
Jeans from a regular shop in Villagio costs minimum Qar100.00 plus. Women's blouses range from Qar60.00 and much more. Clothes are expensive here, and the quality is not really that well, unless you buy from a signature shop.
Its definetly not more expensive then UK. But I think you can manage pair of Jeans around 100QR. Here during Sale or summer festivals etc you will not get really good discounts.
