I always forget to check if they have alcohol at the taxfree shop in Doha or not. I guess no, but maybe.
Is it allowed to buy alcohol at the departure's tax free shop and bring it to Doha, Or they take it away? What if i put it into my cabin luggage. Are they checking it?

You can purchase alcohol on the way out from Doha at the duty free. You can not buy it on the way in - and yes they do scan hand baggage and will confiscated any you try to bring in from elsewhere.

you can't bring any alcohol into Qatar regardless of where you purchase it. If customs find it they will confiscate it and possibly fine you. Get a QDC card and buy from there if you need it.

It is not allowed to buy Alcohol. God forbid.

DEAR FRIEND, You never existed before 100 years nor will exist after 100 years except by the will of God. Donot waste time in vain talks and disputes, donot indulge in luxury, but help the poor and do good to your parents. Allah is not the God of Muslims only but all Mankind, all that exists, existed and will exist. Quran is from God and God's Intelligence not from Muhammed (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon our Beloved Prophet). God wants to tell man certain secrets in the Quran. Be thankful to Allah, He gave you free, the air you breathe, the water you drink, fruits and vegetables, most importantly your Life. So glorified is Allah from the partners you associate with. Your life is a continuos exam until you meet your Creator . People reject God but can they escape Death. Dont forget you are nearing your grave every second. Pray before you are prayed upon.

Obey your God, your Lord,Creator of the universe. This is better for you.

Qatar does not allow import of alcohol. You can buy from the Qatar Duty Free at departure or transit at Doha. But on arrival cannot import (even in hand bag), neither it has alcohol at the arrival duty free section.

You can buy alcohol at the airport, you can't bring it in to Doha.

You can take alcohol bought at the airport out of the country.

Some countries will not allow you to take alcohol in your hand luggage (Australia for instance) unless you buy on the plane.

Prices for electronic goods at Doha Airport "Duty Free" are generally higher than prices elsewhere in Doha.

If you want to get alcohol to take somewhere else the on board duty free on most airlines is probably the best deal.

You can not buy liquor and bring it into Qatar. Is illegal.

If you are caught trying to pass some liquor it will be seized by authorities and you could be "punished".

Regards!!
