The fourth edition of the World Luxury Expo series was hosted at the luxurious St. Regis, Doha from 14-16 November 2013.

The first day of World Luxury Expo, Doha was a salubrious occasion with the event officially opened by Mrs Ebtihaj Al Ahmdani, board member of the Qatar Chamber of Commerce and Industry and chairperson of the medical and educational committees, the first Qatari woman to hold this position. She received the Forbes award as the Arab world's most powerful woman in 2006 and again in 2008 and she was ranked as 19th on the list of the most influential women in the world by Forbes Middle East. Mrs Al Ahmdani was recognised as the most influential women in the field of family businesses in Qatar in 2013.

World Luxury Expo showcased a selection of the world’s leading luxury brands in one spectacular venue from 14-16 November 2013. A selection of highlights included the most expensive penthouse in the world, Tour Odéon, which was showcased by La Conciergerie Du Qatar. Rising above the waters of the Mediterranean and the captivating Principality of Monaco, the Tour Odéon penthouse is the world’s most expensive property per square meter, valued at over USD 300 million.

The World Luxury Expo series has steadily gained momentum and status in the region, having recently concluded three successful events, the first at Burj Al Arab, Dubai in January, the second in February at the palatial Ritz-Carlton, Riyadh and the third edition took place at Emirates Palace, Abu Dhabi in September 2013. 

​The “most expensive soap in the world,” was presented by Khan Al-Saboun. Made of pure gold dust, olive oil and virgin honey and embedded with diamonds, this special piece is valued at USD 3,800.
