Over 10,000 products are available including many luxury gifts and souvenir items designed from brass, onyx, and wood.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS
During 2004, construction will begin in Qatar on the new state-of-the art Doha International Airport. When completed, it will have two parallel runways and an estimated capacity to handle and process nearly 12 million passengers every year.  The terminal will have 24 contact gates in the first phase and will accommodate up to six A380-800 Super Jumbos when fully developed. The complex will also include three high-star classification hotels for the convenience of visitors. When the new airport opens, it will position Qatar as a leading regional aviation hub. The 2,200-hectare airport site will be developed in three stages with onsite work to start during 2004 and final completion of the ultimate development scheduled for 2015. Until the new airport is opened, the existing airport will be significantly upgraded to handle the increase in passenger growth.
