Maybe it's because they grow up smoking hookahs filled with argilah, but Arabs love to smoke. The stores are full of cigarettes, mostly American brands like Winston. In the Qatar Duty Free stores, cigarettes take up a huge amount of the floor space, and here you will see lots of Arabs stocking up on fags.
World Health Organization studies show that 77 percent of Yemeni men, 51 percent of Syrian men, 48 percent of Jordanian men, 46 percent of Lebanese men, 37 percent of Qatari men, and 30 percent of Kuwaiti men smoke. In comparison, under 20 percent of Americans smoke cigarettes.
Qatar Duty Free is run by Qatar Air, the national airline of the country. Which means your cigarette money goes back to the Emir.

The Doha airport is pretty small, just 20 or so gates, but in between the gates is a huge shopping area to serve the 14 million passengers a year. These duty free shops sell a wide variety of jewelry, cosmetics, perfumes, toiletries, clothing, electronics, souvenirs, books, luggage, food, coffee, liquor, tobacco, and more.
Oh, and they have Tang. Lots and lots of Tang.

Landmark is not as big as the City Centre, but the atmospher is nice and relaxed, and you will find alot of the big brands here.
There is an area for kids, and if you feel like you want to go to the Cinema, that is possible too.
What to pay: Well, I didnt spend much money while I was there. I depends on the person, you can spend thousands on clothes, gold etc, but I just bought some postcards and candy, and spend 10 QR
