Perfumes and Cosmetics are cheaper in the Duty Free shops ...Perfumes and Cosmetics are cheaper in all the Duty Free shops compared to the local market prices. It will be 15-20% cheaper through out the Duty Free shops in the world. Food items and confectionaries might not be cheaper in many cases. Electronics are cheaper in the local market.

Basically, Duty Free is ...Basically, Duty Free is never any cheaper than stores out in the city.
In Doha, the only exception is alcohol...the price difference is however marginal: about 10% vs. QDC.

Why would you buy alcohol ...Why would you buy alcohol from duty free in Qatar? I think Alcohol would be cheaper at the destination than Qatar Duty Free.

I just returned from a trip ...I just returned from a trip to Dubai, and bought a perfume on the way out. It was 237QR duty free, which was much better than the cheapest price I could locate in the malls, at 314QR (some shops were asking up to 400QR for the same item).
dweller said
laboheme ...We lived in Abu Dhabi for a few years and were fascinated by the fact that tourist buses from Dubai arrived at Abu Dhabi Co-op to buy goods at cheaper than Dubai duty free prices.
Dubai duty free was cheap at one time but not so now I suspect.

NO...; but still depends upon what you are looking for....!!! ...NO... the things in the Doha duty free is comparatively costlier than those in the city mall's, but still it depends upon what you are looking for...!!!!
If you are traveling and if you doubt of having excess baggage.. better go for duty free shopping rather paying high excess baggage fee...
shyams said
nope ...Unfortunately they aint cheaper compared to malls. also watch to check on the warranty, as they have funny system of warranty system if bought in duty free. so electronics not advisable in duty free... BUT, goodnews is that, the alcohols are 50% cheaper in duty free compared to QDC :-D.... lol.. enjoy and remember to drink responsibly (dont spill it)

And there is nice collection of toys and chocolate. But I'm not sure about the price.
But for me it is cheap, good idea to buy some to your child to be quiet.

DT ...God NO. The very definition of DUTY FREE reads 'Premium' and 'Exclusive' and hence the pricetag to justify.
Aisha said
yes ...I know for fact that the makeup IS cheaper..

my fellow QL'ers,a ...my fellow QL'ers,a comparison can only be made between a REAL duty free & a mall,QDF is an excuse,"real" airports have duty free shops so in keeping with that,they've thrown together the basic booze,chocolates,cigarettes,which if you walk fast enough past the security check or blink hard,you'll miss altegether,so really if we are to compare,do it between say dubai or Abu Dhabi or Bahrain duty free & the prices in the hypermarkets/malls...

I don't know why i never ...I don't know why i never looked for anything besides drinks and food whenever i passed through the airport's stores, I had o idea they have so many cheap stuff... I will make sure to check them out from now on, i always try to get the best prices if possible, and usually i chase for (Removed by Mods. Please don't advertise on the Forums), so i shouldn't ignore the airport's duty free stores anymore.

Have the rules changed that I ...Have the rules changed that I am unaware of? Otherwise, why would anyone be worried about alcohol prices of Duty Free if youre still not allowed to bring it into Qatar? I wouldnt buy alcohol on an outbound flight because you can certainly buy it cheaper at your destination.
