I am currently in Doha Hamad Airport as I write this post and I do NOT recommend buying gold here. I just went to one of the gold stores and tried to pay for a ring with my debit card only to realise I had forgotten to transfer funds from my main account. I asked for the ring I liked to be put aside while I transferred funds into my card's account and the shop assistant agreed. When I came back I asked to purchase the ring that had been put aside for me. They claimed one had not been put aside so I had to look through the rings again to try and find the original one I had asked for. I saw one that looked slightly different and stated that the one I wanted earlier looked similar and the shop assistant "corrected" me and said that it was the exact same ring I had tried on before. When it came to paying for the ring I found that they were charging me 25 riyals more for the second ring than the first. I then raised this issue and stated that the price was originally 25 riyals lower; I also asked if they could check if it was the same ring as before as I was sure it was slightly different. The shop assistant "confirmed" with the original lady I dealt with who stated it was the same ring. I bought the ring and then 10 minutes later after looking at both receipts realised my gut feeling was right and they had in fact sold me the wrong ring and at a higher price than the original.
When I confronted staff with this issue they simply said "Sorry but we have put it through our system, we don't do refunds or exchanges." I then asked if I could return the one I bought, keep the original I asked for then buy a second ring and just pay the difference (with 25 riyals deducted). They then stated that this was "impossible" and if I wanted the ring I originally asked for I would have to buy it all over again! Absolutely terrible customer service, no empathy and no professionalism. It is ridiculous and a huge disappointment to think that they have no procedure for fixing the mistakes they have made.

@ViveLaFrances
Honestly speaking, keeping what they did aside, walk away if you are not happy, you already had doubts, listen to yourself rather than the salesperson.

Gold is cheap in qatar as there is no tax. Also the quality of gold is also good. Just the making charges are lil bit high. You can opt for locally made chain having lower making charhes. Better you buy from here, you will save a lot.
