What Has Changed for Spa Builds in Qatar: the Code and the Water?
Two things on a Qatar submittal are commonly out of date, and one widely held assumption about Gulf water is the opposite of what the utility actually publishes.
01
QCS 2014 is superseded — the current basis is QCS 2024
The Qatar General Organization for Standardization reissued the Qatar Construction Specifications as QS 27:2024 (QCS 2024), approved by Ministerial Decree No. 15/2024 on 3 March 2024, expressly cancelling and replacing QCS 2014. Specifications still citing QCS 2014 are referencing a withdrawn document. Alongside it: connection, metering and the authorised-contractor listing run through KAHRAMAA, the Qatar General Electricity & Water Corporation — the sole transmission and distribution operator for both utilities in Qatar — and fire and life safety approval sits with the General Directorate of Civil Defence at the Ministry of Interior, commonly referred to as QCDD.
02
KAHRAMAA's own words: this water will not scale
KAHRAMAA publishes its Drinking Water Quality Requirements and the numbers are unambiguous: total hardness 65–120 mg/L as CaCO₃ at plant outlet and below 150 in distribution, TDS 110–250 mg/L, alkalinity 60–120, and a Langelier Saturation Index target of −0.3 to 0 — deliberately very slightly aggressive, to protect the distribution network. KAHRAMAA states outright that Doha water will not tend to scale on heating as hard water does. The practical consequence for a Qatar hammam: the limescale panic is misplaced on municipal supply, but corrosion allowance in the wet plant is not — and EOS, whose steam generators we specify, requires a softener on any commercial installation regardless of measured hardness, so a hotel or members' club still gets one.
03
The highest design wet-bulb in the Gulf
Doha's dry-bulb is unremarkable for the region — ASHRAE puts the 0.4% summer design DB at 44.3 °C — but the 0.4% evaporation wet-bulb is 31.2 °C, the highest of the Gulf capitals we work in and more than ten kelvin above Riyadh. That single number decides the design: evaporative and cooling-tower strategies that work inland barely work in Doha, and pool-hall and steam-lobby dehumidification has to be sized on latent load rather than on air temperature. Ashghal's ICA specification additionally requires equipment to withstand a 50 °C ambient.

Room by room
The four rooms we build most
Each room has its own temperature and humidity range; the layout follows those ranges.
01
Turkish hammam
Room air 40–50 °C, heated navel stone surface 40–45 °C. Marble or travertine cladding, a dome or sloped ceiling, kurna basins and the navel stone. Floor and bench heating go into the substructure; the liquid-applied waterproofing goes on in two coats and is closed with a 24-hour water test.
02
Finnish sauna
80–100 °C, relative humidity 5–15%. Timber: ayous, aspen and pine; alder on request. Ceiling height 2.10–2.30 m; any higher and the top bench stays cold.
03
Steam room
40–50 °C, humidity close to 100%. The ceiling slopes at least 3° so condensation runs down the walls. The steam generator is a Condair unit. Cladding in glass mosaic or stone; no return air, a separate extract.
04
Cold plunge pool
2–15 °C, depending on the chiller capacity. Placed at the exit of the heat rooms, three to five steps away, not across the room.

How are a hammam and a cold plunge built in a Doha villa or hotel?
Short answer: a hammam in Doha is a sealed wet room with room air at 40–50 °C, kurna basins and a heated marble platform (göbek taşı). The platform surface runs at 40–45 °C. A cold plunge beside it is held by a chiller at any temperature you choose between 2 and 15 °C. A villa hammam takes 3–8 weeks to build; large projects take up to 12 weeks.
Three things are decided before the marble is ordered:
Plant space. The steam generator for the hammam and the chiller for the plunge each need a service position; the chiller also needs shade and free air around it to reject heat on a summer day.
Water. The KAHRAMAA note above on Doha's municipal water shapes the steam plant; corrosion allowance in the wet plant still applies.
Drain and overflow. Floor falls, kurna drains and the plunge overflow are fixed before the finish goes on, so both rooms can be cleaned and emptied for service.
The hammam, its waterproofing and the plunge are ours; the steam generator and the chiller are made by their manufacturers. For the room in detail see our hammam page and the cold plunge pool page.
Who coordinates a hammam project in Qatar? In Qatar we are represented by a representative office in Doha. Design and manufacturing are done in İkitelli OSB, Istanbul, our own teams install, and project coordination runs through our Dubai office at Latifa Tower.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have a presence in Qatar?
Yes. Sauna Dekor delivers across Qatar with on-site installation and commissioning teams, anchored by completed work in Doha (Diplomatic Club). Regional operations are coordinated through our Gulf office — Al Parimar Trading L.L.C., Latifa Tower, Dubai — and consultations are available on-site in Qatar or virtually.
How much does a custom sauna or spa cost in Qatar?
We quote per project rather than publish a range, because the same specification lands at a very different total from one building to the next. What moves the figure is the size of the cabin or wet room, the timber and stone grade, the heater or steam generator selected, how much of the enclosure is glass, the waterproofing, tanking and drainage the room already has, and how far power, water, drainage and ventilation have to be brought to it. Send us the room dimensions, the ceiling height, the access route and the services already reaching the space, and we return an itemised, position-by-position quotation covering equipment, construction and installation.
How long does a spa project take in Qatar?
A single sauna or steam room typically takes 6–10 weeks from design approval to commissioning, including manufacturing at our Istanbul facility and installation in Doha. Complete villa spa packages run 12–16 weeks; hotel projects are scheduled per the construction programme.
Are your installations compliant with Qatar regulations?
Yes. All installations are engineered to KAHRAMAA (Qatar General Electricity & Water Corporation) electrical and water requirements, Qatar Civil Defence (QCDD) fire-safety standards and Qatar Construction Specifications QCS 2024 (QS 27:2024), which cancelled and replaced QCS 2014, coordinated with project consultants and Ashghal requirements where applicable.
How do you handle invoicing and contracts for Qatar?
International invoicing in USD or EUR is available, with contracts structured per project by Sauna Dekor Spa Solutions, established in 1987.
Which areas of Qatar do you serve?
Across Qatar — Doha, Lusail, The Pearl-Qatar, West Bay and Al Rayyan. We also deliver across the wider GCC, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait and Bahrain.
