I am also confused as to why some items are very expensive here in Qatar. For example when an item is imported from some countries, the compared the original price(converted to QR) and the local price, it is about 50% more. May be a lot of profit is taken by middle men. But items such as Electronics goods cost almost same or some cases it is less here.
Another point which is not clear to me is how the "privilege" and price is linked for a nation. I can understand it in the context of some five star hotel or some places, where they artificially increase the price to reduce common people to access the service or they provide best of class service. If the high prices are due to taxes, which will be used for the benefit of the people, it is understandable.
btw: tea is available for QR1~3 in industrial area in Doha
