Can I buy GOLD in Qatar
Hi,
I will be travelling to Qatar in the first quarter of 2009. I heard that Gold and other electronics goods are cheaper in Qatar when compared to other countries. Could you suggest me the things which are cheap in Qatar and reasonably high in India. I also heard that Gold is one among them. Can someone give me some pointers on What can be purchased in Qatar.
ksrsiva ...also include the exchange rate fluctuation...
The things cheape here in Qataar are:
1. Petrol
2. Cars
3. Ok ...you dont have to pay for dates. I mean the fruit!
Andrew is Practical man. He is correct
In qatar gold price is cheap compare than india, but making charges are high. so final comparsion qatar rates are higher than india
Exampletoday rate in india u can have 1 gm(22Ct) 1250, but qatar 1 gm(22ct) 100QR(inclulde making charge)= 1310.
I think you heard it wrong from somebody, compare to Saudi and Dubai, all the stuff are much costlier here. So, think twice before you pick something from Qatar. Yeah, you will get pure Gold from any GCC country than India. Happy shopping!!!!.
I found Three items here in Qatar are cheaper than in India
1. Petrol
2. Saffron
3. Dates ( But you have to collect it from the road side palm tree)
same prices but the desgins are totally different from any were else
Gold is the same price the world around. The only difference is the "making charge" and tax for some countries such as Egypt. Dubai probably has the least extra price on top of the gold's value for that day. If you don't know the day's price for, say, 22k gold, don't try to buy some. The merchant will have you figured out in a flash.
