Flooring in Qatar: Options, Starting Prices and Choosing a Supplier
What each floor type is good at, what it starts at, and the questions that separate a reliable flooring supplier from the rest.
Updated by Al Arabia Carpets
Most people looking for flooring in Qatar are comparing two things at once: which material suits the room, and which supplier to trust with it. This guide covers both, using the starting prices we quote at Al Arabia Carpets in Doha.
Prices below are starting prices per square metre. The final figure depends on the product you choose and the area, which is why we measure first and quote free of charge.

Flooring options and starting prices
These are the options we supply and fit most often in Qatar, with the prices each one starts at.
- Barkia, PVC and SPC flooring: from QAR 75 per sqm. Waterproof, easy to clean, and suited to kitchens, ground floors and busy family rooms.
- Home carpet: from QAR 80 per sqm. Soft and quiet underfoot, and the usual choice for bedrooms and majlis.
- Office carpet tiles: from QAR 70 per sqm. Individual tiles can be replaced if one is damaged.
- Mosque carpet: from QAR 65 per sqm. Built for heavy use, with rows set out from the qiblah.
- Event carpet: from QAR 22 per sqm. A short-term floor for exhibitions, conferences and weddings.
- Artificial grass: from QAR 25 per sqm. For gardens, terraces, roofs and play areas.
How to choose by room
Let the room decide before the look does. If water is a realistic possibility, choose barkia, SPC or vinyl. If comfort and quiet matter most and the room stays dry, carpet is hard to beat. In a majlis, many families choose carpet or a wood-effect floor with a large rug.
What to ask a flooring supplier in Qatar
A reliable supplier will answer these questions easily. Vague answers are a warning sign.
- Do you measure the room yourselves before you quote?
- Does the price include delivery, fitting and finishing at the edges?
- Can I see samples in person before I decide?
- Who does the fitting, your own team or a subcontractor?
- What happens to the old flooring?
