Gold in Qatar: the local market
Qatar's Gold Souq in Doha trades mainly 21K and 22K, quoted per gram, with the riyal's dollar peg keeping local prices in lockstep with international spot.
Qatar levies no VAT on gold, making Doha one of the cheaper Gulf markets for jewelry once making charges are negotiated.

How a Doha shop quote is built
Doha's Gold Souq posts per-gram rates for 21K, 22K and 24K that follow the world price through the riyal's dollar peg. With no VAT on gold, the making charge is the only addition to the metal price, and it is negotiable — especially on heavier pieces where the charge is quoted per gram.
Selling gold in Qatar
Shops buy back at the posted rate for the karat less a margin; bars and coins fetch closest to the rate. Because there is no VAT to lose, the round-trip cost of buying and later selling plain jewellery in Qatar is among the lowest in the region — essentially the making charge and the buy-back margin.
