IKEA Doha opening confirmed
IKEA Doha has told Doha News that it will open its doors to the general public on the morning of March 11th.
The news follows the invitation via email of hundreds of families in Qatar to a “family day” trial run at the store next week.
Invites for the event seem to have been sent to people who had registered to take part in an earlier trial day, which was cancelled at short notice last month, apparently due to issues with Civil Defence clearance.
Those inspection delays led to a postponement of the planned January 30th opening date, which was in itself a delay - IKEA Doha had originally hoped to open its doors in December last year.
IKEA is located on Al Shamal Road just north of Doha and is the anchor tenant of the upcoming Doha Festival City project.
Are you excited about the opening?
Via - Doha news

Khanan & Brit,

Happy 'Ikea' Shopping!
The interest and daily enquiries on QL about Ikea got me excited.

Khanan that's in Europe,
There are more chances of camel meat than horse meat here.
Plus I have taken the day off on Monday in order to be one of the first to walk through the doors when the open on Monday 11th March 2013 at 10am. Actually will sitting outside the doors from 7am..:)
horse meat in Meatball and now Human Feacel Bacteria found in Cakes. Cakes from 23 countries recalled...
Watch out :)

ooREDoo candles and beanbags. It doesn't mater what I go in IKEA for I always come out with obscure stuff I didn't know I needed.
That's really thrilling. I can buy the stuff here for my home, when my family arrives in April.
Flatpacks?? Ikea is just a four letter word to me ;-)
I likes it too :o)
I am only interested in indulging myself in the those Swedish Meatballs..:)
Haha, how many times has it been announced so far ? Wake up.
Along with buying 2 new Ford Rapture's, Rizks has already booked a place for his tea stall in the car park. So, with every booking of Rizks transportation, people will be treated to free paratha and karak chai :o)
You may try beating that by using your PINK KIA :o)
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw!
I've invested in a roofrack from my Nissan Tiida.
I shall be offering flatpack transportation services at reasonable rates :O)
Happy times ..
I heard the invite was extended to only the "Mums in Doha" group, who were more than eager to get in there :-P
Yeah right.... I am going to drive to Dubai every time I want to buy a beanbag.
why everybody are so excited of this IKEA. its the same with IKEA Dubai -_- no big deal and no big issues -_-
zombie, that is a comment. Many are just running behind the name.
buying a set of incomprehensible wood pieces and breaking my back and head trying to fix them while spilling blood and sweat ?
yeah...totally !
Wow...SO glad finally IKEA will open soon,my wife love IKEA,we always shop at IKEA when we used to live in KUWAIT,thanks for INFO.....
It's just a self assembly flat pack furniture manufacturer with reasonable prices. But when it finally opens next month it will be a giant leap for Qatar in terms of retail furniture. But more importantly for me, there is a psychological side effect that makes me feel like Qatar if truly moving forward.
Plus there is a load of stuff I have been holding off buying until they open, so I can't wait.
I love IKEA , got one in my city and go often to just look around oh then i always find something silly to buy aaaahahahhah well i will be back in doha in june inshallah, can't wait to see this one
