HIS EXCELLENCY
MR. AKBAR AL BAKER
Group Chief Executive
Qatar Airways
Welcome
I would like to wish you all a very warm welcome aboard Qatar Airways.
As the year comes to a close, we reflect
on the developments that have
enabled Qatar Airways to spread its
wings even further.
It has truly been a year of growth and
transition, and these themes have
touched every facet of the company –
inducting new aircraft into the fleet at a
rapid pace; moving to our new home
and hub in Doha, to Hamad International
Airport; and lastly – venturing to new
points on our ever-expanding network.
Qatar Airways’ wings have touched
down in 12 new points this year:
Sharjah and Dubai World Central, UAE;
Philadelphia, Miami, and Dallas, USA;
Larnaca, Cyprus; Al Hofuf, Saudi Arabia;
Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport, Turkey;
Edinburgh, Scotland; Tokyo Haneda,
Japan; Djibouti, Republic of Djibouti;
and lastly – Asmara, Eritrea. To find out
more about the intriguing city of
Asmara turn to page 72.
Each and every one of these new
links is unique and makes it possible
for passengers to set their sights on
new ventures – whether for business
or unique leisure experiences.
Aside from these new routes, Qatar
Airways has also increased capacity on
existing established services, making it
easier and more convenient to reach
your final destination – truly bridging
the gap between East and West.
Travelling to the popular island
destinations of Phuket and Bali has
never been easier, with non-stop direct
flights from Doha, operated with the
state-of-the-art next generation aircraft,
the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
Speaking of aircraft, the ‘year of the
fleet’ continues this month with the
introduction of a world first – the
Airbus A350 Extra Wide Body which
Qatar Airways is proudly the global
launch customer of. Read more
about this innovative aircraft
on page 12.
The precise focus we place on
providing the latest and most efficient,
and comfortable fleet in the skies is
cemented even further with the
introduction of new services to
Frankfurt starting next month,
operated by the A350. The Airbus
A380 superjumbo double-decker
experience we introduced in
September is now flying to London
and Paris and our passengers have
been enjoying the amenities and
designer touches introduced with
the service.
It is our aim that our passion for
flying and comfort is felt each and
every time you experience Qatar
Airways. Have a most enjoyable
flight and we look forward to
welcoming you again soon.

INDIA - A NEW ADDITION TO OUR
BANKING EXCELLENCE COLLECTION
qatar airways
14
Following closely in the jet trails of the Airbus A380 recently introduced to
Qatar Airways’ ultra-modern fleet, another Airbus product, the brand-new A350 XWB,
will soon begin flying in the colours of the Qatari national airline. Significantly,
Qatar Airways is the world’s first operator of this technologically advanced airliner,
whose type-designation suffix ‘XWB’ stands for ‘Xtra-Wide Body’.
The twin-engined A350 XWB ‘Xtra-Wide
Body’ was launched as a concept in
2006, to meet strong demand from
airlines worldwide for an improvement
on Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner and the
Airbus A330/340 families of wide-body
aircraft. From the outset, the proposed
new-generation plane was offered
in three variants with different seating
capacities, dimensions, and engine
sub-types, increasing in size and
operating weight from the A350-800
through to -900 and -1000 models.
Recognising the potential of the
many benefits attributed to the A350
XWB design, Qatar Airways placed
orders for 80 of the type, comprising 43
and 37 of the A350-900 and A350-1000,
respectively. As the first aircraft from
that order, an MSN006 A350-900,
commences service with the airline, the
proof of those technical enhancements
will be readily apparent to passengers,
pilots, cabin crew members, and airline
officials alike.
Passengers will appreciate the wider
cabin – as suggested by the XWB type
name – with a greater feeling of
spaciousness than in comparable
airliners. Then there are the windows.
Larger than those on any previous
Airbus and wider even than the 787’s,
they were designed in response
to passengers’ preferences for
a more ‘panoramic’ view outside
rather than a taller or vertical one.
But comfort for Qatar Airways’ guests
aboard its A350 XWB aircraft doesn’t
end there. The latest air management
systems incorporated
by Airbus guarantee that the air
throughout the cabin is changed every
two to three minutes, while a uniform
temperature is maintained in draughtfree conditions. More importantly, the
lower cabin altitude compared to
older-generation planes ensures
a higher oxygen content in the air that
passengers and crews breathe, leaving
them refreshed and less fatigued
even during ultra-long-range flights.
To satisfy demands for ecofriendliness and greater operational
economics, the A350 XWB is lighter
than other airliners in its class.
With 70% of its structure comprising
CFRP (carbon fibre reinforced plastic)
composites, titanium, and modern
grades of aluminium, less fuel is
burned and, therefore, carbon dioxide
emissions are reduced. Another benefit
of the CFRP fuselage is easier and more
cost-effective maintenance.
Also delivering low fuel burn,
reduced emissions, and high
performance are the Rolls-Royce
Trent XWB engines (the world’s most
efficient large aero engine), designed
and developed specifically to power
the A350 XWB family of aircraft. Anyone
technically minded would be fascinated
by the A350’s ultra-efficient wing,
featuring variable camber and
differential flap settings. In layperson’s
terms, this enables the wing shape to
be optimised throughout flight, to
account for changes in weight as
fuel is burned off.
With the A350 XWB, Qatar Airways
is well equipped to maintain its
status as one of the world’s most
progressive and successful airlines,
with passenger comfort, exemplary
service, commitment to lower
emissions, and proactive contribution
to an eco-friendly, ‘green’ environment
as its key objectives.
Wherever we operate in the world, we pride ourselves in our standards of professionalism and excellence
in banking. Our regional teams have extensive local knowledge of their individual markets,
helping your business break through and succeed.

Plus, expert stylists at two of

THE TIPS
To keep hair looking salon perfect,
moisture is key as it helps to lock in shine
and avoid breakage. For a salon take on
tousled locks, blast hair dry and then twist
into a tight topknot before bedtime. In
the morning undo the bun and spritz
with a texture spray. For sleeker looking
hair, blow-dry all your hair from the roots
to the ends using a round brush; this will
smooth hair cuticles, which is the basis for
healthy looking hair. For a smaller wave,
take small sections when blow-drying.
For individuals with fine hair, be careful
when blasting the hair and set the air
stream to low to avoid any tangles. An
alternative to creating waves and curls is
to use a curling tong; however, it is
important to choose the right tong for
the length of hair. For individuals with hair
below the shoulders who want a loose
curl at the ends, use a 28mm tong and
place it half way up the hair. For a red
carpet look, place the tong close to the
root and complete with hairspray for lots
of volume. TONI&GUY International
Artistic Director, Chie Sato
DISCOVER THE MANY
FACETS OF OPPORTUNITY
The Look
Straight and silky
THE TOOLS
A flat brush, usually a mixture of natural
bristle and nylon, reduces static in the
hair; try label.m’s Paddle Brush, US$20
labelm.com
A salon-quality hairdryer (see left)
A flat iron, only if necessary or for
touch-ups; try GHD’s Classic Styler,
US$185 ghdhair.com
THE PRODUCTS
A nourishing hair mask, applied before
shampooing, will help smooth and
moisturise the hair; try Kérastase
Masque Elixir Ultime, US$24
kerastase.com.
A heat protecting, straightening balm like
Bumble and Bumble Straight Blow
Dry, US$29 sephora.com smooths the
curl as soon as it’s applied to the hair.
THE TIPS
Always use the nozzle attachment on the
hairdryer; this allows you to direct the
heat and air in the right direction, limiting
frizz. Blow-dry your roots first with your
fingers or with your head upside down,
then apply your heat protection product
and blow-dry down the hair shaft using
your brush and nozzle on the dryer, from
roots to ends. Try to only take sections
that fit into the brush. If you use a good
straightening balm it reduces the need
for straighteners, that’s why a good stylist
doesn’t require straighteners to finish a
blow-dry. If you do use a straightener,
make sure it has a temperature control
so you can turn the heat up or down;
the less heat you use, the less damage
to the hair. Bumble and Bumble Live

What’s in my
travel bag
Francisco Costa
As women’s Creative Director for renowned US fashion house
Calvin Klein, Brazil native Francisco Costa ushered the brand
into a new minimalist era where frills and ruffles were passed
up for a sleek, pared-down silhouette.
Words by Ayesha Khan
“I have two homes – New York, where I moved when I was 21, and, of course,
my native Brazil. In Brazil there’s Rio, and it’s really so much about the people.
You really need to let yourself go a little…you need to be really open-minded
and explore the great food and the way people interact.
“In New York, I think there is so much going on in Brooklyn. It’s an exciting time
for this generation just as it was when I first came to New York.
“The most interesting place I have been to is Cinque Terre in Italy. All the towns
have absolutely no hotels so you have to stay in people’s homes. Getting to know
the art of each place is really a way to connect with the people. We are all the
same, but we all just follow different patterns, and it’s these patterns that are so
interesting. One cannot miss the galleries and the museums of a place.”
My personal cologne mix
(patchouli, sage, and a touch of
peppermint). I make it myself.

THE BAG

and I’ve been using this bag forever.
THE CONTENTS
Always white shirts (Calvin Klein
Collection) – it’s my uniform;
I’ve been wearing it since I was

It always reminds me of home.

Yasser
Bagersh
Founder – Our Father’s Kitchen
Our Father’s Kitchen is a child-feeding programme in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia,
founded by Yasser and Manal Bagersh, who also own several restaurants in the capital.
Three community kitchens have been established and over 200 needy children are
fed lunch daily to help them live a healthier life.
How did the idea for Our Father’s
Kitchen come about?
I run several successful restaurants in
Addis Ababa. I feed people who have
money daily…and I eat good food daily.
And while this is happening, I realised
thousands and thousands of children
have no access to a single meal a day.
Young children die daily because of the
lack of a single meal. And how much
does it cost? Less than 8 birr (about
US 40 cents). That just seems a bit too
easy. For that little money, I can actually
save the life of a child. That was a
light-bulb moment. And one morning,
I woke up and said, “I will feed children,
starting today. I can’t wait another day.”
And the journey began.
Tell us about your visits to local
homes to assess if kids will be fit
for the programme.
I am lucky not to have to make that
decision. If I did, I would select every
single child I see. Fortunately, we have
volunteer social workers who visit
children in the neighbourhoods of the
different kitchens we run. Priority is
given to children who are suffering
from difficult challenges such as losing
a parent or both parents, living with a
terminal illness, or those who have
experienced abuse in some way.
So lunchtime rolls around – what is
the scene like at the OFK locations?
I sit in the eating area waiting
impatiently for the children to arrive.
I hear giggles, and my heart beats
faster. The children arrive, wash their
hands, and stand in line for their
lovingly prepared hot meal. You hear
laughter and joy during this special
time. I typically go twice a month,
usually taking friends with me to visit
the kids. Manal comes sporadically, but
she usually prefers to visit the homes so
she can have a deeper understanding
of what their lives are like.
How is the rest of your time
spent at your restaurants?
I run seven restaurants. I move from
one restaurant to another – I have my
aprons and cap in the car! I love
going into the kitchen and working.
Sometimes I serve guests, but typically,
I prefer to cook.
When you go home at the end
of the day, what do you feel
you have accomplished in both
of your ventures?
Accomplishment, not quite. I go
home and ask myself how could this
day have been better, more fruitful,
more meaningful. It’s an ongoing
process; the journey is continuously
evolving and changing and growing.
What are your future plans
for Our Father’s Kitchen and
your restaurants?
I would like to serve a better meal.
I would like to change someone’s life.
I don’t see much difference between
the customers at my restaurants and
the children of Our Father’s Kitchen.
I want to feed more and more…
and make more people happier.
It’s that simple!

Nissan’s latest sports car, the GT-R Black Edition, still proves you
don’t have to buy Italian to conquer the racetrack.
Words by Karl Peskett
Godzilla was the nickname given
to the Nissan Skyline GT-R, which
conquered the Bathurst 1000 race in
1991 and 1992. A twin-turbo six-cylinder
and all-wheel-drive enabled it to
literally run rings around the V8powered cars it competed against.
It was so successful it was subsequently
banned.
Four models on and the value-formoney equation still stacks up. Now
called the GT-R, it has the best ‘bang for
your buck’ of any sports car ever made.
And recently, Nissan announced it
would be available in a Black Edition.
Under the bonnet lies a 545-hp 3.8l
twin-turbo V6, backed up by a
six-speed, dual-clutch gearbox that can
change gears in just 150ms. Using its
supreme all-wheel-drive system, it’ll
launch from 0 to 100kph in a scarcely
believable 2.7s.
Keeping that power to the ground is
a set of gorgeous, 20in RAYS forged
alloy wheels with knurled beads to
keep the nitrogen-filled tyres from
slipping on the rims. A bold carbonfibre spoiler, specially commissioned
Recaro seats, and red and black leather
interior accents set this car apart from
the standard GT-R. These alone make it
worth the extra spend.
Able to keep pace with even the
current crop of supercars, the GT-R
Black Edition is still a Japanese monster,
worthy of its place in folklore.
LIKE THIS CAR? THEN ALSO TRY THESE:
PORSCHE 911 TURBO S
Porsche’s version of an AWD twin-turbo six,
the Turbo S runs to 100kph in 3.1s, but
corner speed is its forte. With an impeccable
interior and indisputable pedigree, the 911 is
still one of the world’s favourite sports cars.
AUDI R8 V10 PLUS COUPÉ
Using a Lamborghini-derived 5.2l V10, the
R8’s 540hp makes a noise worth switching
off the stereo for. While it’s not the fastest,
0–100kph in 3.5s is still no slouch, and it
combines race-like handling with a
comfortable ride in an expert fashion.
And its cabin shows that the finest
craftsmanship can still be found in Germany.

Shish Tawook
A delightful dish of marinated chicken skewers common
in Lebanon, Syria, and elsewhere in the Middle East.

this dish their own.

Turkey
Egypt
Şiş (‘shish’) is Turkish for ‘skewer’, while tavuk (‘tawook’) means ‘chicken’, supporting
the Turkish claim to have originated this dish. Turkish versions emphasise garlic in
the marinade and also include a touch of paprika for colour. Their adaptation is
served with rice and grilled vegetables such as tomatoes, along with a flat-leaf
parsley garnish.
The Egyptian method maintains
chicken cubes (breast or thigh, the
latter is preferred), but involves a
spice-forward base - a touch of
cardamom, mustard and turmeric
combine with curry powder to give
a more Indian subcontinent flavour,
though the alternating onions and
peppers retain that all-important and
recognisable skewer combination.
Lebanon
Acidity in both the yoghurt and the lemon marinade help tenderise the chicken,
while searing the outside at high temperature locks in the meat’s moisture. The
Lebanese serving style is what sets this version apart – replacing the rice typical in
other countries with hummus and tabbouleh (a parsley salad).
WHAT IS SHISH TAWOOK?
A traditional ‘shish’ or kebab skewer
served in capital cities around the
world. Primarily drawn from the
Lebanese and Syrian cooking canon,
this dish typically involves marinating
chicken cubes in yoghurt and lemon,
before skewering and grilling over open
flames and serving them with toum,
a garlic paste.

Artisan du Chocolat
Artisan du Chocolat co-founder, and chocolate-maker to some of the world’s
best restaurants, Anne Weyns, talks to Oryx. Words by Craig Butcher
N°1 SALTED CARAMELS ORIGINAL
After inventing liquid salted caramels for Gordon Ramsay's menu at
Claridge’s, London, these original sea salted caramels are still a
bestseller over a decade later. This pure untreated salt, harvested by
hand from clay marshes from Noirmoutier Island’s grey salt, holds a
wealth of minerals and trace elements that enrich its taste. It is the
balance of flavours – sweet, saline and mineral – and of textures –
crunchy, liquid and creamy – that make these salted caramels a most
coveted new creation.US$27
Belgian co-founder of Artisan du
Chocolat, Anne Weyns, arguably started
at the top. In 1999 she and her business
partner, chef Gerard Coleman, made
some samples and sent them to
restaurants.
“One of the first to get back to
us was Restaurant Gordon Ramsay
[in London],” says Weyns, “which had
just opened and had three Michelin
stars. The next day we started.”
Since then, they haven’t looked back.
They’ve made chocolates for Heston
Blumenthal’s three-Michelin-starred

restaurant The Fat Duck, in Bray,
England. They were also at the
vanguard of the famous Borough
Market in London, back when there
were just 10 stalls.
While some chocolatiers use others’
liquid cocoa, Artisan du Chocolat
refine their own. “Many places don’t
make chocolate – they make
chocolates,” says Weyns. “And those
places will have a small choice of where
to buy their chocolate from. We refine it
ourselves, which is very unusual on our
small-scale level. We’re able to innovate
and do much smaller batches.”
If you haven’t heard of Artisan
du Chocolat, don’t be disheartened.

word of mouth,” says Weyns.
You may, however, have heard
about their sea-salt caramels. Originally
a recipe from Brittany in northern
France, “we started selling them in the
shop and it was almost overnight that
it went crazy,” says Weyns. “We use a
salt from Brittany that’s been left to dry,
there’s no processing, it’s just full
of vitamins and minerals.”
The caramels resulted from a
commission from Gordon Ramsay
for his flagship restaurant in London,
Restaurant Gordon Ramsay. “The brief
… was simply that they needed to be
round. We thought the contrast of
liquid inside would give a different
texture.”
It’s a joviality and willingness to try
new things that has partly given rise to
their success. “I like to think we are the
Paul Smith of chocolate,” says Weyns.
“It’s very serious, very technical, but
there’s a quirky side to what we do.
We use new technologies to achieve
the results that we’re after. Innovating
on flavour alone is very difficult, since
it can be easily copied. So we look at
technical ways to create a different
sensation.”
Artisan du Chocolat is now available
in the Middle East, and exclusively
at HIA, Marmalade Market.

Katara, the Cultural Village Foundation,
will officially host the 4th edition of
the International Opera and Classical
Music Awards – Oscar Della Lirica
for the first time in the Middle East.
Held at Katara Amphitheatre on
December 12, the event features the
opera elite and classical music artists
from all around the world, introducing
internationally renowned artists to
spectators in the region.
The International Opera and
Classical Music Awards 2014 – Oscar
Della Lirica is an international ceremony
organised by the Italian foundation
Verona per l’Arena, the Confederazione
Italiana Associazioni e Fondazioni
per la Musica Lirica e Sinfonica, and
various other organisations to honour,
popularise, and relaunch the world
of Lyric Opera.
The awards honour the best
international artists and singers as
well as opera and classical music
composers. The awards categories are
divided into: Soprano, Tenor, Baritone,
Mezzo-Soprano, Bass, Director
Conductor of Philharmonic Orchestra,
Career and Classics, in addition to
a special award presented to New
Generation Artists.
Lyric Opera is recognised as part
of the World Cultural Heritage
movement since it links the past to
the future. It is deeply rooted in Italian
and European history and is now open
to new interpretations. This modern
twist makes room for new talents who
come in the capacities of directors,
set designers, new voices, and more.
The first and second editions of the
awards were held in the Italian city of
Verona, while the Municipal Theatre
of Bologna was the magnificent
backdrop of the third edition of
the awards.
Katara General Manager Dr. Khalid

working hard to make the 4th edition
of the International Opera and
Classical Music Awards 2014 –
Oscar Della Lirica a success that
will support Qatar’s leading position

RUA OSCAR FREIRE
Navigating a city the size of São Paulo
is a daunting task, so if you prefer to
cherry-pick an area, Rua Oscar Freire
has it all. Set in the heart of the city’s
fashionable Jardins neighbourhood,
this designer street packs in plenty of
gems including the flagship Havaianas
store, the opulent Emiliano hotel and
restaurant, the shoe-store-cum-artgallery Melissa, and the city’s creamiest
gelateria, Bacio di Latte.
Wind back 15 years and this was a
‘nowhere’ place to the vast majority,
lost somewhere between Waterloo
and London Bridge. As one moved
north, a succession of soot-blackened
railway arches encircled the entire
neighbourhood like a ghetto wall.
If we think back centuries we find a
lane through marshy land – Bear Lane
– leading to the King’s Pike Gardens, the
theatres of the Rose and Globe, and the
rough wharves along the water’s edge.
But by 2001 the former Bankside
Power Station had become Tate Modern
and a steady trickle of art-seekers were
to be found venturing along this
hotchpotch of a street, speeding up
their echoing footsteps as they passed
under the arches. They were heading
magnetically towards the Thames,
to the new home of art, looking out
across the river to St Paul’s – linked by
the once-wobbly Millennium Bridge.
To reach the Tate from the south was
an ordeal in those days, crossing the
un-prepossessing cut of Southwark
Street, between shabby warehouses.
Wind forward five years, 10 years,
today, and a transformation has taken
place. This is an architectural collage of
a vigour and boldness not often found
in London. The Bluefin Building and
Bankside 123, frames the view of Tate’s
chimney, along my favourite street.

a funky teahouse that really

Hiring a car is a good option

But taxi services are also
inexpensive and reliable;
a 15-minute ride should
cost around US$6.50.

Prague, Czech Republic
Few locations capture the magic of Christmas more than the baroque square in
the centre of Prague’s old town, overlooked by towers, turrets, and gargoyles –
especially if you’re lucky enough to see it under snow. A giant decorated tree adds
sparkle, puppet shows and animals entrance children, and adults can enjoy hot
drinks and sugar-coated cakes. Meanwhile, schoolchildren in regional costumes come
from across the country and provide traditional songs to serenade the crowd. Magical.
Qatar Airways has daily flights from Doha to Vienna, where you can connect to Prague
Barcelona, Spain
Many people associate Christmas markets with the cold, snowy old towns
of central Europe, but warmer climes have their own celebrations. Barcelona’s
best market is Fira de Santa Llúcia beneath the splendid façade of the
cathedral, where over 300 stalls sell fine artisanal jewellery, leather goods,
and toys. (Look out too for joke presents on sale for December 28, Spain’s
equivalent of April Fool’s Day.) The market also features parades, musical
shows, and kilometres of lighting.
Qatar Airways has 10 flights a week from Doha to Barcelona
Berlin, Germany
Berlin hosts some 60 Christmas
markets, attracting four million
visitors annually to stalls selling gifts
such as music boxes, nutcrackers,
and wooden figurines, as well as
stomach-warming food such as hot
potato cakes, stollen, and steaming
hot drinks. The largest is held in the
grounds of Charlottenburg Palace,
providing a romantic background
to light-twinkled festivities, but
Potsdamer Platz’s market offers
tobogganing and ice skating in a
more contemporary setting.

Stockholm, Sweden
The atmospheric Christmas market on the old town’s main square, Stortorget,
has been running for a century and is the place to enjoy marzipan, cakes,
and traditional Swedish sweets – and perhaps even local delicacies such
as dried reindeer and elk meat. Wooden and straw tree decorations, knitwear,
and traditional lace and embroidery are all good buys.

Vienna, Austria
The oldest and largest of many
Christmas markets in the Austrian
capital takes prime position under the
glorious mock-medieval town hall,
where trees are draped in lights and
red ribbons. Indulge in sweet pastries
such as gingerbread and strudel,
hot chestnuts, nutmeg-flavoured
macaroons, and hot drinks spiced with
cinnamon. It’s also worth hopping on
the tram to Schönbrunn Palace, where
another notable Christmas market
features a baroque backdrop and an
enjoyable programme of events aimed
at children.

Barzan:
From Qatar to Qatar
Train 1 of the historic Barzan Gas Project
is more than 95 per cent complete
and is rapidly ramping up for its first
production of clean-burning, natural gas
for the State of Qatar in 2015.
RasGas Company Limited (RasGas) has announced
that Train 1 of the Barzan Gas Project is more than
95 per cent complete and is expected to start up
in the first quarter of 2015. The historic project is
set to meet Qatar’s rapidly growing domestic
energy demand and support many of the exciting
developments underway in the country.
With the completion of both Barzan Gas Trains 1
and 2 in 2015, the $10.3 billion facility will produce
around 1.4 billion standard cubic feet (bcf ) of cleanburning natural gas per day.
RasGas is managing the construction of the new
plant and will operate it once it is complete.
Combined with RasGas’ existing seven liquefied
natural gas (LNG) trains and other sales gas
processing plants, the Barzan Gas facilities will
boost the company’s production capacity to 11
billion cubic feet per day – the equivalent of almost
two million barrels of oil per day – which will make
RasGas one of the largest single gas processors in
the world.
“The Barzan Gas Project is strategically important
for Qatar’s sustainable economic development, and
is a powerful step forward in the country’s overall
industrial and human development.”
The Barzan Gas Project is a joint venture between Qatar Petroleum and ExxonMobil owning 93% and 7% respectively. RasGas is the project developer and operator.
– HE Dr Mohammed bin Saleh Al-Sada,
Minister of Energy and Industry
The importance of the Barzan Gas Project
to the people and State of Qatar cannot be
underestimated. Billed as “from Qatar to Qatar”,
it will support all four pillars of the Qatar National
Vision 2030 under the wise leadership of His
Highness The Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al
Thani, who continues the vision of His Highness
The Father Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani.

Qatar celebrates the day
in 1878 that the founder

succeeded his father Sheikh

as ruler, and its cultural

heart of these festivities.

The Corniche in Doha is the focus for the National Day celebrations each year, and a string of cultural venues sparkle like jewels
along this shore of the Arabian Gulf. From the landmark beauty of I. M. Pei’s Museum of Islamic Arts to the stunning traditional
architecture of Katara, this is an exciting time of the year to explore the very best of local and international arts in Qatar.
Established in 2007 by Emiri decree,
National Day, also known as Founder’s
Day, marks the succession of Sheikh
Jassim bin Mohammed bin Thani,
the founder of the State of Qatar.
It is a celebration of national identity
and history, of Qatar’s heritage, and the
country’s growth as a modern nation.
Throughout the capital, but particularly
along the 7km Corniche, there will
be maroon-and-white flags flying
from buildings and cars. Parades of
horsemen and camel riders provide
a marvellous spectacle, and visitors
can enjoy the sight of traditional boats
on the harbour, and a fly-past of
military planes, as well as taking part
in cultural events. It seems sometimes
that citizens and residents paint
the entire city maroon and white,
expressing their national pride in
flags, flowers, and lights.
While the National Day celebrations
are a recent initiative, artistic expression
in the region dates back to the
petroglyph rock carvings in Al Jassasiya.
Qatar has always been a bridge
between the East and the West, and
the art and cultural events of National
Day reflect that. It is a celebration of
unity and Qatar’s place in the world.
2014 saw a year of cultural exchange
between Brazil and Qatar, culminating
in a show at the ALRIWAQ exhibition
space this National Day. There have
been other landmark exhibitions
throughout the year at the galleries
of Qatar, including Mona Hatoum at
Mathaf, Arab Museum of Modern Art,
and an outstanding public art installation
by Richard Serra. In the desert near
Zekreet, on the west coast of Qatar,
Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin
Khalifa Al Thani, the chairperson of
Qatar Museums, unveiled a monumental
sequence of sculptures, East–West/
West–East. The four 15m steel plates
span a kilometre, towering above a
natural corridor in the gypsum plateaus
of the Brouq Nature Reserve.
Thanks to Qatar’s visionary
leadership, one is able to experience
qatar
68
There is also a thriving literary scene,
which brings together Qatari and expat
writers. As Mohana Rajakumar, founder
of the Doha Writers’ Workshop said,
“Qatar is a place of diversity, complexity,
and contrasts. Since setting up the
workshop eight years ago, both have
given me endless inspiration.”
During the celebrations that lead
up to National Day, there are cultural
events to suit all tastes. At the Museum
of Islamic Art, it is possible to enjoy
everything from world-class exhibitions
such as ‘The Tiger’s Dream: Tipu Sultan’
to the MIA Park Bazaar, a modern
version of the souq tradition
(December 6, 12–8pm). Over at Katara,
the Cultural Village Foundation and
Qatar Arts Society have a handicrafts
and arts market (December 11–12,
4–10pm), which showcases local
artisans and artists. Meanwhile the
QMA galleries at Katara and ALRIWAQ
are hosting major exhibitions of Qatari
artists. Katara is also home to the Qatar
Philharmonic Orchestra. Founded by
Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser Al-Missned
in 2007, the orchestra inspires adults
and children with Arab and Western
music, often playing free concerts at
MIA. In December, the orchestra will be
playing a selection of music from
Bartók, Prokofiev, and Verdi at the Qatar
National Convention Centre.
Meanwhile, near Education City, Mathaf
celebrates with a show selected from
the permanent collection of 8,000
artworks from the Arab World.
The arts thrive at all levels and bring
together people from different
backgrounds and cultures to both
appreciate and create. Organisations
such as the Doha Film Institute, which
hosted the acclaimed Doha Tribeca
Film Festivals, not only show a wide
selection of films from around the
world throughout the year at Katara,
but also train filmmakers to tell their
story in their own voice, and December
sees the Ajyal Youth Film Festival.
Arts and culture are thriving in
Qatar, and the next generation of
artists, writers, filmmakers, and actors
are being encouraged to grow and
develop, and are being exposed to
the finest local and international
work. It is a rich and cosmopolitan
environment which nurtures creativity,
growing its own museums and a
vibrant knowledge-based economy.
A young Qatari writer at a summer
school organised by Bloomsbury Qatar
Foundation some years ago declared
that she loved everything about her
home country, "even the dust". There is
a famous saying attributed to Picasso
that ‘art washes away from the soul the
dust of everyday life’ just as precious
rain brings life to the desert. If that is
what art and culture does, then Qatar
is encouraging the next generation
of Picassos, and on National Day this
desert nation can proudly celebrate its
place on the world stage as an oasis
of the arts in the Middle East where
creativity grows and flourishes.

WIDE AVENUES LINED WITH PALM TREES AND MODERNIST ARCHITECTURE GREETED ME
AS I DROVE INTO THE CITY FROM ASMARA AIRPORT. I HAD COME TO ERITREA FOR A FEW DAYS
TO EXPLORE ITS UNIQUE ARCHITECTURE, HISTORY, AND FOOD.
What struck me most about Eritrea’s
capital, Asmara, is the lack of hustle and
bustle of many other African cities; it’s
one of the most laid-back capital cities
I have visited in Africa. The city centre
is compact, making it very easy to walk
around and navigate, while the climate
is another draw: the city enjoys mild
year-round temperatures of around 26°C.
Walking around Asmara you will
notice a distinct influence in its
architecture and cuisine. Eritrea was
ruled by the Kingdom of Italy between
1882 and 1941, and was populated –
mainly in Asmara – by groups
of Italian colonists, who moved there
from the beginning of the 20th century.

COUNTRY OF ERITREA IN THE HORN OF AFRICA.
© Eric Lafforgue
Due to the city’s heavy influence by
Italian architecture – it was used as a
test-bed for daring architecture styles
– Asmara was known as ‘Piccolo Roma’
(Little Rome). As you wander, keep an
eye out for the fantastic examples of art
deco and colonial Italian modernist
buildings from the 1920s and 30s.
One particularly fine example is the
futuristic FIAT Tagliero service station,
poised like a plane about to take flight
with huge cantilevered ‘wings’ stretched
out over open space. The local
authorities at the time were not
convinced the structure would hold,
and requested that the architect
Giuseppe Pettazzi support the ends
with pillars. The architect complied with
their wishes by putting in wooden
supports. According to local legend,
during the building’s unveiling he
forced the foreman to remove the
supports at gunpoint. The roof still
stands unsupported over 75 years later.
The nearby IRGA building and Cinema
Impero are also great examples of the
architectural legacy left by the Italians.
When it comes to Eritrean cuisine,
pizza and pasta have found their way
onto nearly every menu, and locals
order macchiatos and cappuccinos in
cafés. For those with a sweet tooth, visit
one of the many bakeries lining Harnet
Avenue, or for a cool treat try Da Fortuna
Gelato Italiano, where ingredients are
brought in fresh from Italy. Eritrea also
has traditional food similar to that
found in Ethiopia, such as injera bread
served with tasty wats (stews), zigni
(a beef stew in tomato sauce flavoured
with berbere), and tibs (grilled meat).
Harnet Avenue is the main street
through the centre of Asmara, lined
with palm trees, cafés, cinemas, bakeries,
and restaurants. Here, you’ll find the
tourist office where you can arrange the
permits required if you plan to travel
outside of Greater Asmara. Come by
again at sunset for the passegiata, an
Italian ritual of taking an evening stroll
and socialising before dinner, as locals
come out to sip a macchiato and catch
up on the day’s gossip with friends.
If you listen closely, you can still
hear older Eritreans chatting in Italian,
although Eritrea has three official
languages: Tigrinya, Arabic, and English.
There are nine different ethnic groups
represented in Eritrea, all depicted
on the Eritrean currency: Afar, Bilen,
Hedareb, Kunama, Nara, Rashaida, Saho,
Tigre, and Tigrinya. The Tigrinya are the
predominant group in the highlands,
while the Muslim Afar and Rashaida
live along the Red Sea coast.
I hired a car and driver during my visit
in order to visit Massawa on the coast.
My driver Michael, an Eritrean-Italian,
suggested we ignore the direct route
in favour of the longer, more scenic
route via Filfil. The Filfil road descends
through multiple switchbacks with
great views out over the valleys below,
and on a clear day, you can see all the
way to the coast. The landscape slowly
changes as you descend, eucalyptus
forests disappearing as the terrain
becomes arid and barren. The coast is
also much warmer than the highlands
– nearly an 11°C difference.
eritrea
74
Locals here are from the Rashaida ethnic
group, and the women wear distinctive
colourful clothing. We drove on past
isolated villages and herds of camels, to
where the road eventually joined the
main Massawa–Asmara highway.
Massawa is the main port for Eritrea
and was the capital of Italian Eritrea
before it moved to Asmara. Massawa
itself is built across several islands and
the mainland, and all are joined by long
causeways to the port. Before the
Italians, Massawa had been controlled
by the Ottoman Turks, Egyptians, and
even the British. There are still several
buildings remaining from the Ottoman
period in the old town, and the
architecture style feels closer to Djibouti
City than Asmara.
After a quick driving tour through
town Michael dropped me off at my
hotel for the night. The Dahlak Hotel
occupies a great location right in the
centre of town, featuring a bright lobby
decorated with carved wooden
doorways and paintings, comfortable
air-conditioned rooms, and an open-air
restaurant on the water. I dined on
delicious freshly caught fish while
I watched the full moon rise slowly
over the old town.
Massawa was incredibly hot
compared with Asmara, and the
swimming pool looked very inviting
after the long drive. Instead,
I took an evening stroll through
the old town, wandering among
the crumbling arcades where locals
had brought out beds to sleep outside
and catch the cool night breezes.
I came across a restaurant where
diners sat outside eating fish covered
Qatar’s biggest
Fibre network just
got even faster
in spices and cooked Yemeni-style
in an oven until it came out crispy.
The next day, the 100km direct
route back to Asmara took around
two hours, the route running parallel
to the railway for most of the
distance. As the road wound up the
mountainside it provided stunning
views of the surrounding countryside.
We stopped at a scenic overlook in
Nefasit to have a look across the valley
to the Debre Bizen monastery,
perched high on the peak of a
mountain, before making our way
back to the capital.
Enjoy free upgrades from 1Mbps to 10Mbps and 10Mbps to 25Mbps!
Asmara is one of the most pleasant
African cities, and the culture,
architecture, cuisine, landscape,
and history of Eritrea will captivate
you and make you yearn to return
to this enchanting country.
THE ERITREAN RAILWAY
© Shawn Baldwin
The Eritrean Railway was built by the Italians to
connect the port at Massawa with Asmara, and was
quite an engineering marvel. It took nearly 50 years
to complete, rising 2,400m via 39 tunnels and 65
bridges from the coast to Asmara, then continuing
inland to Keren. At one point over 30 trains a day
used to run the route. The railway deteriorated after
the road was completed, but was restored in the
1990s without any foreign aid, a source of national
pride. Tourist services now operate on most Sundays
on the route from Asmara to Nefasit using steam
trains and vintage carriages or in unique art deco
Littorina rail buses. Tour groups can also charter
trains to make the run all the way to Massawa.

Winter
Wonderland
December in the northern hemisphere can be a delightful
month for any adventurous traveller willing to brave the big chill.
With the arrival of the first snow of the season, skiing awaits:
beginners can have their first wobble on skis, while off-piste
challenges and even heli-skiing will thrill the experts.
© Patrice Labarbe / Courtesy of Chamonix-Mont-Blanc
But if skiing doesn’t appeal, don’t be put off. There are plenty
of other ways to get active in the snow, and even a walk can take
you wildlife spotting or to alpine panoramas – and perhaps the
terrace of a chalet for a restorative hot chocolate. So limber up,
rug up, and head north. Here are some top ways to experience
the winter wonderland this season.
Words by Brian Johnston
Ski in Hakuba, Japan
Dog-sled in Jotunheimen, Norway
Japan in winter is a magical place of
warm teahouses, light-strung trees, and
ancient temples slumped under snow.
Hakuba lies in the magnificent ranges
of the northern Japanese Alps near
Nagano, and offers panoramic skiing
and snowboarding on deep powder
snow – not to mention the chance to
see the renowned snow monkeys of
nearby national parks. Hakuba also lures
with the distinctive culture of Japan
beyond the slopes, from snow festivals
to hot springs. Sit up to your neck in
warm water with a view of snowcapped mountains and relieve tired ski
muscles. Bliss.
Head north from Oslo and into the heart
of the Norwegian mountains and
Jotunheimen, the country’s most
popular national park. High peaks
cluster, waterfalls are frozen, and an
altitude above the timberline provides
spectacular scenery. A husky tour is a
fine way to experience the landscape.
After instruction on how to handle the
dogs (Norwegian huskies are small and
dark), you’re off with a whoosh of
runners and a frenzied barking that soon
settles down to panting and the
pattering of paws as you glide through a
frozen landscape where icicles twinkle.
Why not give snowshoeing a go: much
easier than skiing, and easily learned.
Snowshoes (‘webs’ in local parlance) let
you float on the surface of the snow
rather than sink into it. Feet go crunch,
crunch. Occasionally there’s a whoosh
as snow slides from a branch. Sun
glitters on a landscape whittled down
to green pines, red jackets, and blue
sky. Head to the trails of Palos Forest
Preserve, or simply to the city’s parks
and lakeshore. This is a beautiful way to
spend a winter’s day, and you’ll burn twice
as many calories as by simply walking.
Track animals in Biebrza, Poland
Biebrza National Park, some two
hours northeast of Warsaw, is Poland’s
largest protected area and features
marshes, peat bogs, and misty forest.
That actually makes winter the best
time to visit: not only is the ground
frozen and mosquitoes banished, but
this is also the best time of year for
wildlife spotting. Beavers, foxes,
lynxes, boars, elks, bison, and wolves
are all out and about in the snowy
landscape. Guided tours will take you
there, tracking by four-wheel drive
and on foot to see these creatures in
their natural habitat.
Feel the need for an extra adrenalin
rush? Travel to the Rocky Mountains,
where you can try snowmobiling
in Colorado, where nearly 5,000km
of dedicated snowmobile trails
crisscross the state. You can travel
hut to hut and camp out overnight
surrounded by stars and the frozen
peaks. Or, in Canada’s Banff National
Park, you can trial ice climbing on
frozen waterfalls using ropes and
crampons: head to Johnston
Canyon, and watch out for moose
and wolves. And in the Winter
Olympic resort of Whistler, near
Vancouver, the Sliding Centre offers
a piloted four-person bobsleighing
experience for those who really
feel the need for speed.
Heli-ski in Chamonix, France
A huge ski area awaits anyone brave
(and expert) enough to take a
helicopter into the back country of the
French Alps for some superb powder
snow, on terrain that varies from open
alpine bowls to steep, adrenalininducing descents of peaks. Not only
do you avoid busy slopes and lift
queues, but you can even ski across
borders into Italy or Switzerland. If you
aren’t a skier, don’t despair: a scenic
helicopter flight alone provides a
magnificent spectacle of rearing peaks
and glittering glaciers, with Chamonix
town below as small as a model village.

Snow-kite in Neuchâtel, Switzerland
Stockholm sits on 14 islands,
surrounded by thousands more. Some
are just little rocky outcrops, topped by
pine trees and red or yellow cabins shut
up tight for winter. Some can only be
reached with a trek across ice, where
water once flowed. Chip a hole in the
surface and try your luck for the pike
and perch that lurk beneath, using a
special fishing rod angled for the ice.
As you sail back to the city centre,
the city unfolds its elegant Renaissance
towers and snow-capped spires,
backed by slender glass office towers.
Simply beautiful.
An hour northeast of Geneva, the
canton of Neuchâtel is best known
as Switzerland’s watchmaking centre.
Now it’s gaining a reputation for
snow-kiting too, especially around
La Sagne, La Corbatière, and the Vallée
de la Brévine, nicknamed the ‘Siberia
of Switzerland’ for its frigid winds.
Strap a snowboard to your feet, hoist
a kite aloft and, rather like windsurfing,
let the elements do the rest. It isn’t for
the faint of heart: adepts can now
travel at over 100kph. With ice crystals
stinging your face and the landscape
rushing by, it’s exhilarating.
ALL IN THE FAMILY
When Julie Andrews sang about her
favourite things, sleigh bells, apple
strudels, and snowflakes were on her list.
The kids will certainly be happy to sing
as they whizz down the slopes or build a
snowman at Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis in the
Austrian Alps. Though not as famous as
nearby resorts, those in the know
recognise it as Europe’s most familyfriendly ski resort, with 140,000m2 of
slopes dedicated to the little ones, and
some outstanding kids’ clubs and ski
schools. From tubing courses to
mini-skidoo, bouncing castles to igloos,
there’s no end of fun. The kids can follow
the tracks of dinosaurs through the
forest, and meet Murmli the Marmot.
Kinderschneealm is a children’s kingdom
for those up to the age of 15. Berta’s
Kinderland is particularly good for
younger kids learning to ski. Conveyor
belts haul them to the top of
the slopes, avoiding the perils of ski lifts.
The mascot of Kinderland, an orange
cow with blue horns, bounces through
the snow, dusting kids off if they fall,
then giving them hugs. Just give
yourself plenty of time – it could be
quite a while before you want to wave
this delightful ski resort so long, farewell,
auf Wiedersehen, goodbye.

Qatar Airways Supports Educate A Child
Qatar Airways proudly supports the globally focused Educate A Child programme
launched in November 2012 by Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, and recently
made a donation of QAR2.4 million to help EAC’s worldwide agenda.
Striving to bring quality primary
education to millions of children, the
EAC programme serves as a catalyst to
help break down the barriers preventing
children from being in school, working
with global and local organisations to
turn commitments into action.
The funds contributed by Qatar
Airways will be utilised to benefit
children in co-funded education
programmes in more than 30 countries
around the world, driving towards EAC’s
vision of a world where every individual
has the opportunity to learn through
a quality education. Countries served
are affected by poverty, gender
discrimination, and natural disaster.
To date, more than 2.5 million children
have access to education programmes
thanks to projects co-funded by EAC.
Qatar Airways Group Chief
Executive His Excellency Mr. Akbar
Al Baker commented: “Qatar Airways
is honoured to be a communications
ambassador for the Educate A Child
initiative, championing its messages
to a worldwide audience through our
travelling public. The funds presented
today symbolise the overwhelming
support received from our
passengers, together with the
matched funds from Qatar Airways,
and highlights the enthusiasm which
this initiative has drawn from all
corners of the globe.”
Speaking about the partnership,
Marcio Barbosa, Chief Executive
Officer of the overseeing Education
Above All Foundation, said: “Qatar
Airways is a special partner, a leading
Qatari company supporting a
Qatar-based international NGO.
We appreciate the resources that
Mr. Al Baker and the Qatar Airways
team have put towards raising
awareness of the issue of out of
school children and their financial
contribution towards accelerating
our efforts to close the gap.”
Befitting Qatar Airways’ global
reach and that of Educate A Child,
the airline’s financial contributions
represent a commitment made by
Qatar Airways in April 2013 to match
funds donated by passengers aboard
its flights in seatback envelopes.
Cabin crew introduce the EAC
programme and invite passengers to
donate any amount, in any currency.
This approach leverages the airline’s
communication platforms and reach
of more than 23 million passengers
per year to 145 destinations worldwide
to advance the goals of EAC.
EAC provides co-funding to
implementing partners with
established education approaches
and ongoing interventions within
communities where they work.
EAC recognises and appreciates the
wealth of knowledge and experience
that its partners bring to the issue
of out of school children. Therefore,
EAC does not dictate the types of
interventions or the approaches that
partners use to address the needs
of out of school children.
Rather, EAC and its partners often
implement more than one strategy
to address the multiple barriers that
children face, be it infrastructure,
post-conflict instability, geographic
challenges or financial strains.
EAC’s goal is to reach at least
10 million children with primary
education by the end of the
2015/2016 school year. Support from
organisations such as Qatar Airways
goes a long way towards making
that vision a reality.

meditation
Meditation is a timeless
practice that helps you to
release stress and anxiety.
The Chopra Center teaches an
easy, natural technique called
Primordial Sound
Meditation, and we also
recommend the following
practice you can try right now:
So Hum Meditation
1 Make yourself
comfortable, close your eyes,
and observe the inflow and
outflow of your breath for a
few minutes.
Now take a slow, deep
breath through your nose,
while thinking or silently
repeating the word ‘So’.
2
Slowly exhale through
your nose, while silently
repeating the word ‘Hum’.
Continue to allow your
breath to flow easily, silently
repeating ‘So... Hum... ’ with
each inflow and outflow of
the breath.
3
Do this for 20 to 30
minutes. Just breathe easily
and effortlessly, without
trying to concentrate.

health advice
MOTION SICKNESS
Continue looking straight ahead
by keeping your eyes focused
on a non-moving object to
reduce motion sickness.
CABIN PRESSURE
Cabin air pressure falls as the
aircraft gains height, which can
cause the amount of oxygen in
your blood to drop. The aircraft
cabin is pressurised to keep this
to a minimum but the change
of pressure during take-off and
landing can give a feeling of
blockage of the ears. Chewing,
swallowing, or yawning can
relieve these symptoms.
HEART DISEASE
Do not fly within seven days
of a heart attack unless cleared
by your doctor. It is normally
best to delay your flight for
about a month in case there
are complications.
DIABETES
If you are going to cross several
time zones, please consult your
doctor about managing your
insulin dosage.

new Airbus A350 Xtra-Wide Body aircraft, with non-stop daily
service beginning in January.
AIRPORT GUIDE
Selected airport terminal maps from
our oneworld network.
FLEET GUIDE
Qatar Airways flies one of the
youngest and most modern fleets
in the skies today.
ILLEGAL ACTS
In accordance with Qatari law,
smoking on board an aircraft is an
illegal act punishable with a fine
of QAR30,000 (US$8,200). Indecent
behaviour on board, including
intoxication, verbal or physical
abuse, or any action that disrupts
the operational safety of an aircraft,
such as tampering with the smoke
alarms, is also punishable with a
QAR100,000 (US$27,000) fine and up
to three years’ imprisonment, or both.
The highly anticipated Airbus A350
will be received by the end of 2014
in preparation for yet another
forward-looking step in Qatar
Airways’ development.
Qatar Airways currently flies
twice-daily to Frankfurt from Hamad
International Airport, and the double
pairings will both be operated by
an A350 on the route.
His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker,
Group Chief Executive of Qatar Airways,
remarked: “This year has truly been
a year of the fleet for Qatar Airways.
The airline has demonstrated its
commitment to quality and comfort
offered onboard and to providing
passengers with the leading technology
available in the aviation industry.”
Frankfurt was chosen as the A350’s
inaugural route because of the
significant capacity the aircraft
provides for the comfort of its
business and leisure travellers.
“Qatar Airways looks forward
to inaugurating our first A350 on
the Doha–Frankfurt route, and to
very soon introducing this nextgeneration aircraft on many other
cities offered on the airline’s extensive
network,” Mr. Al Baker said.
Qatar Airways has 80 Airbus A350s
on order, and expects to induct the
first eight production aircraft into
its fleet before 2015 year-end.
The A350 additions come close on
the heels of Qatar Airways’ delivery of
its first double-decker A380 aircraft in
September this year, which is currently
operated daily on the Doha–London
Heathrow route.

Development and expansion continue at Hamad International Airport
The opening of the luxurious
The Airport Hotel and Vitality
Spa at Hamad International,
as well as new shops at Qatar
Duty Free, further enhance the
revolutionary airport’s offerings.
Since opening earlier this year,
Hamad International Airport (HIA)
has set new benchmarks in airport
excellence. These most recent
additions to its already strong
portfolio of amenities will only
serve to bolster Hamad International
Airport’s reputation.
Designed to meet the needs of
all global and regional travellers for
whatever length stay is needed, The
Airport Hotel’s Vitality Spa is available
to anyone who passes through HIA,
meaning a between-flight swim
or massage is readily accessible.
The spa also offers three treatment
rooms for men and two for women,
and a hydrotherapy bath is also available
in both the male and female spa areas.
As for the hotel itself, guests are
invited to choose from superior, deluxe,
and executive rooms or executive
suites, which can be booked for 0–3,
3–6, 6–12 or 12–24 hours, allowing for
rest in between flights or to use the
room as a base while they explore the
amazing boutiques and restaurants
throughout HIA.
That shopping experience is
now even better, following the
addition by Qatar Duty Free of four
new premium shopping boutiques.
Passengers seeking luxury brands
on their travels will now be able
to shop at Coach, Montblanc,
Almotahajiba and Hugo Boss,
as well as more than 70 other retail
outlets that are already available
within the 25,000m2 of retail space.
Expansion in Africa
continues with
flights to Djibouti
Qatar Airways takes Best
Business Class honours
One-year anniversary with
oneworld alliance
Three new aircraft arrive
on same day at HIA
Three-times-weekly flights
from Hamad International
Airport to Djibouti–Ambouli
International Airport make
Djibouti the airline’s 19th
destination in Africa.
For the second year in a row, Qatar
Airways was named Best Business
Class Airline at the Business Traveller
Awards 2014, voted by Business Traveller
magazine’s readers and widely recognised
as the airline industry’s benchmark
for excellence. Qatar Airways was also
named as a finalist in several other
categories – Best Airline, Best Long-Haul
Airline, Best Economy Class, Best Middle
Eastern Airline and Best Cabin Staff.
Qatar Airways celebrated its first
anniversary of joining the oneworld
airline alliance network on October 30,
and it remains the only Gulf carrier to
be part of oneworld. The anniversary
was marked by a ceremony and
a premium three-day sale on
destinations across Qatar Airways’
worldwide network, together with
a special 5,000 bonus Qmiles offer
for its Privilege Club members.
For the first time in its history,
Qatar Airways took delivery of three
new aircraft in one day, adding two
Boeing 787 Dreamliners and one
Boeing 777 to its fleet, which now
stands at 141 passenger and cargo
aircraft. Qatar Airways now has
18 Boeing 787 Dreamliners,
and 37 Boeing 777s, made up
of a combination of 777-300ERs
and 777-200LRs, among its fleet.
The non-stop flight to Djibouti is part
of Qatar Airways’ expansion plans to
introduce new routes, new frequencies
to existing markets, and induct new
aircraft into its growing fleet.
Last September, Qatar Airways
launched thrice-weekly operations to
neighbouring Ethiopia, which is being
joined this month by a new route
to the Eritrean capital of Asmara.
Qatar Airways celebrated the launch
of its new route with a community
initiative that supports the building
of an elementary school – ‘Al Amal’ –
in Djibouti. The airline has joined
hands with the RAF Foundation
of Qatar for this initiative.
Alongside the incredible growth
of Qatar Airways, the airline has
a dedicated corporate social
responsibility programme that
continuously supports local community
initiatives such as Al Amal.
With the new school in Djibouti,
Qatar Airways will be contributing
to the Djiboutian community, helping
to provide children with a new host
of educational opportunities and
assisting them to become valued
members of the global community.
Qatar Airways Vice President
Africa Jared Lee said: “Djibouti
presents a great opportunity as
the country has huge appeal for
many with its wealth of natural
resources and tourist attractions,”
with scuba diving, snorkelling
and picturesque beaches among
the offerings. “Qatar Airways is
delighted to give business travellers
and tourists who wish to visit Djibouti,
and also the people of Djibouti,
an additional route to and from
this destination.”

For your own convenience and comfort, please confirm any requirements before starting your journey.
| DEPARTURES

• Present your boarding card to our staff
standing just before the immigration
area. They will scan your boarding pass,
and fast-track you through immigration
and security checks if your flight is
nearing its departure time.
• Keep your travel documents (passport,
boarding pass, and ticket) ready to
present to the immigration officer.
• Dedicated lanes are available for First
Class and Business Class passengers.
| Things to avoid
• If you are travelling to a GCC country

months (three months for GCC citizens).
Please make sure your passport meets
this requirement, otherwise your airline
will not be able to accept you for travel.
• If you have any unpaid fines in Qatar,
then you will not be allowed to leave
the country. Please make sure any
unpaid fines are settled before you
travel. You can also pay your fines at the
Ministry of Interior office at Hamad
International Airport.
| Security check
Your hand baggage will be security
screened for prohibited items and you
will be required to walk through a metal
detector. The experience will be much
smoother if you:
• Ensure you are not carrying any
prohibited items.
• Pack any liquid containers in a clear,
re-sealable plastic bag. Each liquid
container must be 100ml or less.
Complimentary re-sealable plastic bags
are available from the information desks.
• Put small items into your hand baggage.
These include phones, wallets, watches,
and keys.
• Place items with metallic parts (belts,
shoes, etc.) into the security tray before
walking through the metal detector.
| Please note
• Our walk-through metal detectors are safe
for passengers with cardiac pacemakers.
• Expectant mothers may be exempt
from walking through metal detectors

staff, and on the presentation of
a medical certificate. In this case,
they must undergo a physical check

Al Darb
Graduate Development Programme
In line with the Qatar National vision 2030, Qatar Airways and the
Al Darb programme enthusiastically support young Qatari talent
by providing learning and development opportunities that inspire
the brightest and hardest-working new professionals to accelerate
to achieve their greatest potential.
The Graduate Development Programme
takes each Qatari enrolled and provides
them with a customised programme;
an approach that best serves them to
meet their needs and career aspirations
through training and focused courses.
Qatar Airways is a place with global
opportunities that cater to their
ambitions and desire to grow.
“Our initiative is to inspire the
brightest people to reach their fullest
potential, which in turn serves not only
the country’s best interests but ensures
that Qatar Airways itself maintains a
steady stream of the best and brightest
national talent entering the company to
help ensure its hard-earned reputation
as a five-star airline,” said Vice President
National Talent Development, Kholode
Al-Obaidli.
“I am privileged to be in the
programme, especially because it truly
follows the Qatar National Vision for
2030,” said Salma Ibrahim KH A Al Jabor,
National Graduate Developee –
Commercial. “I am overwhelmed by the
support and how everything is
designed out for us. Qatar Airways is a
company that has a number of
employees of a diverse background
and I am glad to have this opportunity
to be able to learn from all of them.”
The Graduate Development
Programme provides a focus on what
the overall Al Darb programme defines
as ‘Extra Milers’. These are passionate
people who strive for excellence,
who are curious and goal-oriented,
eager to be challenged to reach their
greatest zenith. Abdulwahab Hussain,
a Corporate Communications Graduate
Developee, has been in the programme
a little more than two months
and has already seen this in action.
“Currently, I’m working with the
media relations team and the social
media team. My main responsibilities
are to write Arabic tweets, giving the
support needed in Arabic for all projects,
writing press releases, and editing
content for the inflight magazine.”
The path of the Graduate
Development Programme is a
structured one, which provides fresh
graduates with a unique experience
to work across multiple divisions and
departments. Developees will be
supported with both internal training
and external training through partners
such as IATA and Rolls Royce to
maximise their learning potential,
further enhanced by an overseas
assignment covering between three
and six months, which is determined by
the programme path a student is on.
“I engage with the Business Divisions
[and] rotate through and complete
specific business-related assignments
in line with the department’s needs
and my performance management
objectives,” explained Noureldin Khalil,
a Commercial Graduate Developee
in the Ground Services field.
Key to the programme is the
assignment to each Qatari of his or her
own performance coach, who will work
with them on developing a tailor-made
programme focused on both career
and personal development. Coaching
is key to development. By March 2015,
90 coaches will be trained and certified
by Airbusiness Academy. These are
Qatar Airways managers who provide
structure and annual strategic
performance objectives to ensure Qatari
nationals are able to perform a role in
the aviation industry after completion
of the programme’s two-year rotation.
“I would like to get an actual role
in a department where I can better
understand the airline business since
I come from an airport background,”
Salma Ibrahim KH A Al Jabor said.
“Succeeding within the business means
I can contribute within my country
as a young Qatari woman.”
