Doha music shops

I recently shopped around the music shops, Yamaha at Jarir bookstore, al-badie studio etc. We bought an ibanez electric guitar for a present in addition to a few other bits from Al-Badie. On later visiting the store and checking a number of items against the UK prices i was astounded to find that there was over 100% difference, and with discounts at a minimum, Doha being more expensive. When u checked the UK internet stores like GAK, (www.gak.co.uk) an even greater price difference was noted.
So, if you need decent new gear, get it carried out or try Amazon, as Doha isnt the place to buy if you can avoid it, except small items to keep you going. Same experiences?

Sorry mate. Could have told you that if you asked first :o(

Same goes for photographic equipment. Amazon and Aramex go hand in hand.

Did you Google it first?
