Don't forget the bank fees!

Qatar is regarded as one of the most expensive countries in the world to buy beer in. The local cost is 50 Qatari Riyal, about £12 for a standard 330ml bottle.

However, if you're paying on your bank card or a prepaid travel card you could be paying a few pounds more in international bank charges per beer you buy.
