A Qatar Resident Noticed A Restaurant Is Charging Almost Double In Qatar Vs Dubai

Is it just the inflation or is that one expensive cheesecake?
The dessert menus are not identical but they share 3 dishes. The ones on the Qatar menu are almost double in cost. The AED and QAR as currencies are almost equal. While Dubai does have a 5% VAT Tax (and a 7% Authority Fee at this restaurant), it still doesn’t come close to the prices on the Qatar menu.
