Totally forgot to ask this in my other post.

 

Furnature: We will not be shipping our furnature from Canada, but putting it in storage. Are there furnature stores with decent priced items like a bed couch and the other normal items. Please provide the names of any stores, or people selling items.....For the wife are there "garage sales" lol...

 

Thanks,

albertaman

Just go to Home Center ALbertaman. I find the furniture to be pretty decently priced and decently made. Better than IKEA anyway.

There are many places in Doha when you can buy furniture. However, I don't think that you will find it to be as good a quality as it is in Canada. Odd colors and designs seem to be somewhat of a problem as well. Also finding a decent mattress for beds is a problem.

A lot of places you can rent totally furnished though if you didn't want the headache of searching yourself...Just make sure you check out the beds!

I think that your wife is out of luck for th tradional yard sales!

Have a good & safe trip to Qatar.

There are a lot of home stores here where you can get furniture, but you may want to check up on what you are getting. Most apartments/villas do come furnished in some way...some do not so it is a good thing to check on.

Doha College is a much changed place.

Only one such sale last year. Sandra Williams has left.

Have they stopped holding car boot sales?

Much of Doha College furniture was provided with income from car boot sales.

Don't know about decent prices but you have lots of choice.

If you invest the time and visit 10-20 stores you'll come up with something.

Some of the international schools hold garage sales but the concept is generally alien to Doha. Alien to the Arab world in general really.
