Not entirely true. Many items are expensive here in Qatar compared to a few other places in the Middle East itself, but still not comparable to Europe and USA.
You pay more for an item in UK than you'd in USA.
Europe, USA and UK, where standard of living are even higher, the cost of such commodities are as high.
In particular, retail prices of electronics, apparel and cosmetics are higher in Qatar but comparatively lower in UAE. Thats because, UAE is the sole supplier of these items to the neighboring countries.
I feel Qatar doesn't yet have a direct deal in imports and gets most of the supplies from UAE.
