There is no tax on objects. You can buy luxuries, any variety of tobacco, electrical or electronic appliances at very reasonable prices. In the old souk, there is little handicraft, mostly copper utensils. Check out the finely embroidered clothes and exotic spices, fabrics or rugs. The famous Qatar pearls are affordable to wealthy travellers. They truly are worshipped here. Shops are open from 7:30 am to 12:30 pm and from about 3:30 pm to 7:00 pm, some large stores remain open until midnight. Friday is a public holiday.
