Harvey Nichols to open Qatar location

The British luxury retailer will be expanding its presence in the Middle East with a new store in Doha. 

Harvey Nichols has signed a deal with the Saleh Al Hamad Al Mana Group of Companies for a brand new multibrand store in Qatar, set to open in the first few months of 2017.

The 80,000 square feet of retail space located in the Doha Festival City will arrive with a range of fashion, beauty, childrenswear, homewear and other hospitality services. The store highlights Qatar's status as one of the world's richest states, with high levels of disposable income making Qataris the Middle East's highest-spending luxury consumers. 

Other international Harvey Nichols locations include Hong Kong, Dubai, Riyadh, Istanbul, Ankara and Kuwait. The Al Mana Group already operates stores for luxury brands including Hermès, Giorgio Armani, Balenciaga, Giuseppe Zanotti and Stella McCartney among many others.
