Who this article is for

• Architects and interior designers running villa, palace and residence projects in Lusail, The Pearl (Porto Arabia, Viva Bahriya, Qanat Quartier), West Bay and Al Waab
• Fit-out and joinery contractors, kitchen showrooms and marble workshops in Doha
• Hotel, lobby and restaurant projects in Msheireb and Lusail
• Turkish construction and contracting companies working in Qatar
• Qatari families who want to furnish their villa or palace from Turkey

The market: Qatar's home sales doubled

According to Knight Frank, residential sales transactions in Qatar rose 114% year on year in the second quarter of 2025: 1,844 transactions worth 9.23 billion QAR, with Doha alone at 3.85 billion QAR. The most expensive apartments are at Lusail Waterfront (15,131 QAR per m²) and Viva Bahriya on The Pearl (14,987 QAR per m²). According to the Real Estate Regulatory Authority Aqarat, The Pearl was Qatar's most traded area in the first nine months of 2025 with more than 2.08 billion QAR, followed by Lusail Zone 69 at 993 million QAR. In the luxury segment, the kitchens, walk-in closets, bathrooms and lobbies of these homes are custom-made furniture and natural stone.

Turkey is the nearest manufacturing country for this market: it is among the G20 countries with a clear competitive advantage in furniture (Üçüncü and Bayram, 2026), the world's third largest natural stone exporter (2.1 billion USD in 2025, Turkish Ministry of Trade), and 3-4 weeks by sea from Hamad Port. In custom furniture, customers value and pay for personalised dimensions, materials and finishes (Lihra, Buehlmann and Graf, 2012); that is exactly what Qatari villas ask for: production to the palace's drawing, not to a catalogue.

Island with turned legs and glass display cabinets; the classic line preferred in Gulf villas.

The right stone and the right finish for the Gulf climate

In Qatar, surface temperatures exceed 45°C in summer and the air is salty. Salt crystallisation is the main cause of flaking in porous stone, and damage increases as evaporation accelerates (Rodriguez-Navarro and Doehne, 1999); strength loss from thermal cycling and salt has been measured in Western Anatolian marbles, and porosity and water absorption are decisive in stone selection (Yavuz and Topal, 2007). The practical conclusion: polished marble is trouble-free indoors; for pool surrounds, terraces and facades, travertine or dense beige limestone with a honed finish is used (Siegesmund and Snethlage, 2014). Accredited laboratory test reports are available for some of our stones.

Quality: documents, not promises

• E1 boards with certificate; wood-based panels are among the main sources of indoor formaldehyde (Salthammer, Mentese and Marutzky, 2010).
• Lacquer: polyurethane primer and top coats; colour fixed in writing by RAL or NCS code. Veneer: species and leaf selection approved from photos.
• Hardware: Samet soft-close hinges and runners with a 2-year warranty; Blum on request.
• Packing: numbered by room and unit, corner protection, ISPM 15 pallets and crates; loading photos on the day of shipment (our export packaging article).
• 24-month manufacturing warranty; concealed transport damage reported in writing with photos within 7 days of delivery, and the part is remade.

The process from drawing to Hamad Port

1. Drawing. Your architect sends the dimensioned plan, door type, colour and hardware. We do not offer design or drawing services; we manufacture to the drawing.
2. Quotation. Within 1-2 working days an itemised proforma EXW Istanbul; FOB or CIF Hamad Port price on request.
3. Approval and payment. 40% with the order by bank transfer; dimensions and colours approved in writing. Lead time starts after both.
4. Production. About 45 working days for lacquer and veneer; stages photographed. Marble is selected and approved slab by slab.
5. Shipping. 60% before shipment. Sea freight to Hamad Port about 3-4 weeks; bill of lading and documents digitally or by courier.
6. Installation. Your fitter in Qatar installs the numbered parts with the guide and video; we do not install outside Turkey.

Qatar customs, tax and documents

• Duty: 5% of the CIF value under the GCC common customs tariff. There is no free trade agreement between Turkey and Qatar.
• VAT: not applied in Qatar; 5% is planned under the GCC VAT framework but no implementation date has been announced (as of July 2026).
• Documents: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin certified by a Turkish chamber of commerce, bill of lading. Whether a conformity certificate is required for furniture and natural stone is confirmed by your importer or customs broker before ordering.
• Minimum: none for a single villa; kitchen, closets, doors and marble are combined in one container. A 20ft container carries a complete villa kitchen with closets and doors, or about 300-350 m² of 2 cm slabs.

Slabs in ISPM 15 crates on the way to the port.
