Yes, foreigners can buy a freehold property in doha. But the prices now is going crazy. we bought a unit 2yrs in the pearl 3bedrooms for 2.2million and now it cost 3.6 million. But for more info you can go to sabban ask for shiraz she knows a lot. I also read it in the news paper that GCC nationalities can also buy a piece of land in doha in 18 areas Um Gwalina, Bin Mahmoud, Bin Omran cant memorize it all.
