QDC Price List
For anyone trying to find QDC price list in Qatar—there’s no official, up-to-date list available online. The QDC website (www.qdc.com.qa) has pricing info, but you need to be a registered permit holder to access it.
Most of what’s floating around online comes from old forum posts or third-party sites, so reliability varies.
The list below is a compilation of all the publicly available info I could find. The only semi-complete list out there is from 2019—nothing official for 2025 has surfaced yet.

This QDC price list clearly shows a wide range of prices, heavily influenced by the 100% "sin tax" introduced in 2019, which effectively doubled the cost of alcohol, pork, and tobacco products. The dates indicate that while some data is recent, other prices are from older reports and should be considered historical context.

- QAR 4,000-10,000: Maximum spend of QAR 2,000
