What can you buy in Qatar that would be hard to find in the United States?
Qatar presents a range of distinctive cultural products and regional specialities, often uncommon or unavailable in the United States. These items stand out as unique souvenirs or gifts:
- Arabic perfumes, especially oud-based ones, are more widely available in the U.S. through online retailers, though traditional blends remain more accessible in Qatar.
- Dallahs, while Dallah coffee pots are symbolic of Gulf hospitality, they can also be found online through global marketplaces like eBay and Etsy.
- Traditional Sadu weaving is available online, but handcrafted pieces from Qatar remain culturally distinct and are more authentic locally.
- Premium dates like Ajwa and Khalas are available in the U.S. through specialty stores but are often fresher and more affordable in Qatar.
- Camel milk products can be purchased online in the U.S., but they remain a niche and are far more common in Qatari stores.
- Hamour fish and Arabic spiced coffee are local delicacies rarely found elsewhere.
While thobes and abayas are accessible in the U.S. via online Islamic fashion stores, Qatar offers a broader variety with local designs and tailoring.
