i heard of this rumour for more than a year, while some one else posted on this site that the rumour was going on for more than a year.and i was informed through this forum that ikea wont come for another 3 years..........yup long faces...its sad.
but lets keep our fingers crossed, who knows, anything can happen.

IKEA Dubai delivers to Doha? ...I have heard unconfirmed rumours that IKEA in Dubai teamed up with a transportation company and they now can deliver in Doha (but you still have to make your purchase in Dubai).

IKEA ...Just a short piece of Information:-
I actually wrote to IKEA this year asking about the possibility of opening the store here and in fact did receive a reply from them that they already found a partner here and were in fact going to open a store.
The did not mention a specific time.

BearBull if Singways ...BearBull if Singways furniture is designed by the same designers as their website, I'd prefer to keep away from it.

Mojonojo ...I think you can find something similar item at IDdesign (The Mall). Gotta warn you though, it's kinda pricy.
As for IKEA, I can confirm they will be opening soon at the Villagio.

ikea in Vellagio ...ive seen ikea stores the size of the villagio, somehow i doubt their going to open a store inside the villagio, unless they have changed thier worldwide buisness practice of warehouse selling.

Han19, what's the problem, ...Han19, what's the problem, Ikea Dubai delivers in Doha, and there is no import tax. Take Air Arabia flight and treat yourself to shopping in Ikea.

IKEA in Dubai ...Terramax... I thought of doing that (going to Dubai for a shopping spree) but the delivery charge is very high from IKEA and its only worth it when you are furnishing your whole house. If you just need a table lamp or a couple of items i think you need to combine that with a city break or if lucky a work trip.

Londonalgiers - true, the ...Londonalgiers - true, the delivery charge is justified only when you are buying several items of furniture. But on the other hand small items like a lamp etc. you can bring along

Just came to know that Ikea ...Just came to know that Ikea at the Villagio might be put on the shelve for sometime. Some business politics! or so I heard.
Terramax said
No, not business politics, ...No, not business politics, but pure bull[Mod Removed]tin' of our fellow Qatarliving members. IKEA stores are the same worldwide. Their concept (warehouse) has nothing to do with Villagio. A standard IKEA store actually is bigger than a Villaggio itself. So it is clear as a day that there never was a plan to open an IKEA in Villaggio.
Again - too many confident "know-it-all" guys who want to sound important, but who don't know what they are talking about. By the way, where is the bookstore which was "confirmed to be open in November" in the City Centre? Is there any good shrink in Doha, who can cure this new sort of mental disorder - "compulsive confirming"?
londonalgiers said
Terramax Ikea ...Hey Terramax. It is true that IKEA warehouses are actual WAREHOUSES and not small stores but Dubai used to have, up until last year, a store inside the Dubai City Centre then they moved to a bigger place in a new part of Dubai not far from the Airport. To be honest I would be happy with a Littlewoods style catalogue where you can order and get free delivery. I don’t want to have to spend huge sums on furniture that I will eventually leave here...plus I cannot find anything worth buying.

I don't know. But maybe you ...I don't know. But maybe you can ask Al-Sharq newspaper. Maybe Souq Waqif has some medical plants. You can also ask doctors at Hamad Medical Center. Elder nomads in Qatar know how to use some natural medicine.
You can also ask about camel milk which is more healthy than other kinds of milk.
