You will save yourself much headache if buy your things here. You will be able to find most of the items you need in Qatar. You can ask your company to pay you some amount when you land here or even before you come. The company will also be making savings in this way. While I cannot comment on whether Qatar is more expensive than your country, shipping the items will eventually prove to be more costly. Possibly, yours is a rare case when someone is planning to bring kitchen and household items to Qatar from his home country.
