There has been talk about IKEA coming to Doha already for several years, I recall some newspaper articles earlier this year but nothing has happened so far. Anybody has some news ?

We are involved in this project and the site is still in excavation stage.

It is a fast track project, expected to finish by end of 2012.

It will be part of DOHA FESTIVAL CITY.

Hi Kinger66,

I would like to take this opportunity to ask you about the hiring of your team. I am trying to find my brother (who is in the Philippines) a job here in Doha. How can I send to you his CV?

Thanks,

What are the chances they wont be overpriced like everything else in Qatar?

We'll still have to run to Dubai and order & ship stuff over here cos the choices & prices are better & I've already done this twice!

Ikea is cheap. They don't want competition here.

if people are living here and have furniture at home and no IKEA around, my best guess is someone would be buying that furniture...:)

yes, I know. I hope the project materializes as there is a shortage of modern furniture shops. I had a look at the shops around decoration r/a but sorry who buys that furniture ?
