Don't forget the bank fees!

Qatar is regarded as one of the most expensive countries in the world and due to its small size hotels can get expensive during special events such as the World Cup where some four star rooms cost over 10,000 QAR a night. This is over £2,500!

However if you're using a bank, credit or prepaid travel card you could be paying 3-5% more in fx fees.
