in Doha for all types of goods and services, here are some general points:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Interesting fact:<\/p>\n<cite>Prices are the same throughout the country, so there is no difference whether you are in a Doha store or any other city. Since most tourists rarely go beyond Doha in Qatar, and if they do, it&#8217;s usually on a desert tour, all the prices in this article will be for the capital city.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The national currency is the Qatari riyal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Symbol on price tags: QAR or QR<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The currency is used for all transactions in the country, even in taxis and for buying souvenirs at markets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The exchange rate is 1 USD = 3.64 QAR. The country&#8217;s economy is so strong, and inflation is low, that the exchange rate has not changed in 10 years (except for the Qatari crisis in 2017). You can imagine that in 10 years, the currency exchange rate in your country has not changed to the US dollar even by a cent (in Qatar&#8217;s case, not even by a dirham?). Here are two useful articles on this topic:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/qatar\/currency-in-qatar\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"635\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Qatar Currency<\/strong><\/a>: where to exchange money, where cards are not accepted, what currency to bring<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/qatar\/history-of-qatar\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1378\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Qatar&#8217;s history, including the 2017 Qatar crisis<\/strong><\/a>: learn about the country&#8217;s powerful economy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/qatar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/04\/price-1.jpg\" alt=\"prices in qatar for foods\" class=\"wp-image-1231\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Note the prices in Doha stores: although small coins are officially in circulation, no one writes 9.99 on price tags. Even in a large store, the change will be rounded to the nearest riyal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Note the higher above:<\/p>\n<cite>Firstly, all the prices in the photos in this article can be converted to dollars by dividing them by 3.64. Secondly, the country has coins (dirhams). 100 dirhams = 1 riyal. However, today only 25 and 50 dirham coins are in circulation and are rarely given as change; instead, all amounts are rounded to 1 riyal. That is why even in stores, you will not see prices like 9.99, they simply write either 9.75 or 10.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Amazing_facts_about_prices_in_Doha\"><\/span>Amazing facts about prices in Doha<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only in Doha, but also throughout Qatar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you all know, Qatar is the richest country in the world. Here is a great and interesting article: <a href=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/qatar\/why-is-qatar-so-rich\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"940\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>why is Qatar so rich, or what does Qatari citizenship offer<\/strong><\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Qatari citizens&#8217; incomes start at $10,000 per month. Here, the minimum pension by age is $5,800. The vast majority of tourists assume that since the country is the richest, the population must have the most decent life in the world, and if not the highest, then very high prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These rumors are further fueled by the fact that until recently, Qatar was a closed country, and there is not much information available online, mostly stereotypes and rumors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/qatar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/04\/price-2.jpg\" alt=\"prices in doha\" class=\"wp-image-1232\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Most of the sights in Qatar are free!

You walk into a store and there are 15 types of tomatoes, 20 types of peppers, and so on. And I&#8217;m not exaggerating. Local stores offer products from all over the world, with corresponding price differences: local  tomatoes are available for $1.5, or you can get them from Argentina for $30.

It is easiest to do this by renting a car rather than buying tours. Firstly, car rental in Qatar is available with a standard driver&#8217;s license with some caveats, and secondly, it is very cheap, petrol is even cheaper, the roads are perfect, and the distances here are quite short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>All about <a href=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/qatar\/car-rental-in-qatar\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1527\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>renting a car in Qatar<\/strong><\/a>: based on personal experience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Economy car rental price: starting from $30 per day, sometimes even cheaper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4&#215;4 jeep rental price: starting from $70 per day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Petrol prices in Qatar: 2 QAR (0.55$) per liter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All roads in the country are toll-free, and most parking in Doha is free.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Travel_tips\"><\/span>Travel tips<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before our first trip to Qatar, we thought we would spend a fortune there, depriving ourselves of everything. But in reality, it&#8217;s not as scary as we thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prices in Qatar for most goods are comparable to ours. Many things are much cheaper than in Europe. Renting a car and the price of gasoline is 2-3 times cheaper than, for example, in Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Staying in hotels and dining in European-style restaurants in the new areas of Doha can be really expensive. We prefer good places that owned by migrants from India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, where the prices are 7 times cheaper. But they are mainly located in Old Doha, in its historic part. There are few such places in the new areas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visiting museums is also not cheap. But you should see what museums they have here. I recommend everyone to visit, regardless of the price, but keep in mind that you need to plan at least 4-5 hours for each museum. They are huge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, prices in Qatar and prices in Doha are not as high as many expect. Yes, there are places where you can spend $5,000 or $10,000 in one evening. But any reasonable, adequate tourist who doesn&#8217;t have that kind of money can still have a great time in Qatar. And their expenses will be absolutely standard for any trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a huge number of free locations, cheap transportation, budget-friendly and delicious Eastern cuisine, and affordable prices in grocery stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Resources to help you plan your dream trip to Qatar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"background-color:#f9f9fe\" class=\"has-background wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wayaway.tp.st\/1GhhcyBd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Flights <\/a>at the best prices with discounts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Car rental<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/discovercars.tp.st\/UTEBTEyw\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/discovercars.tp.st\/UTEBTEyw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DiscoverCars<\/a><\/strong> and <a href=\"https:\/\/localrent.tp.st\/twsidnaa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LocalRent<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hotels and apartments<\/strong> in Doha: \n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tripadvisor.tp.st\/dlkBbEzP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tripadvisor <\/a>&#8211; compare prices when booking around the world.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/trip.tp.st\/3IUqnjiu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trip.com<\/a> &#8211; the best selection of hotels in Qatar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vacation packages<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/cheapoair.tp.st\/I6HmzWmv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CheapOair<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tours, excursions and activities<\/strong> (including extreme ones):\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/getyourguide.tp.st\/yyk68J7V\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/getyourguide.tp.st\/yyk68J7V\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GetYourGuide<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; more than 600 tours<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/viator.tp.st\/j5VhYbAd\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/viator.tp.st\/j5VhYbAd\" target=\"_blank\">Viator<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; excursions and activities throughout the country<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Travel insurance<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ektatraveling.tp.st\/XwCNhlGJ\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/ektatraveling.tp.st\/XwCNhlGJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EKTA<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Airport <strong>transfer<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/intui.tp.st\/7VXORy5K\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Intui.travel<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Internet and Calls<\/strong>:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/tp.st\/CqzlYxAX\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/tp.st\/CqzlYxAX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Airalo &#8211; eSIM<\/a><\/strong> in Qatar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/drimsim.tp.st\/7svSftuq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Drimsim<\/a> &#8211; universal sim card for frequent traveler.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everything about prices in Qatar and Doha for tourists in 2024.
