DAY ONE

DEPARTURE

I met with Jane Hoyes from Qatar Airways and seven other agents at Manchester Airport for the early morning flight. We flew business class directly to Doha International Airport. After arriving late in the afternoon, we were transferred to the first hotel, the W Doha. We freshened up and enjoyed dinner in one of the hotel's restaurants, Spice Market. The meal was absolutely delicious—an Asian Fusion set menu that included Japanese cheesecake!

DAY TWO

B12 BEACH CLUB DOHA

Today was a VIP day at B12 Beach Club Doha, which included brunch. We were shown around the Beach Club, where cabanas were reserved for us in the VIP area.

We enjoyed a dip in the sea, and then, for lunch, we went inside the restaurant for a few hours and enjoyed brunch. We enjoyed pizza, chicken satay skewers, thai beef salad, Caesar salad, mini fish and chips, spaghetti arribiata, mini beef burger sliders and chicken tikka. There was also a wide variety of cocktails, wines, beers and soft drinks.

We then returned to the hotel in the afternoon to pack our suitcases and transfer to the next hotel, the InterContinental Doha, where we stayed for three nights.

After we were shown our rooms, we freshened up and headed out for an evening tour of the Doha Souk Wakif. We came alive with people in the evening. We had a gorgeous meal at a Persian restaurant called Parisa. Here, we enjoyed a meal of various barbequed meats, rice and salads. After the meal, we were transferred back to the hotel.

DAY THREE

DUNES

Today, we were picked up from the hotel and travelled in 4x4s to the desert, where we did an excursion called Discover the Dunes & Inland Sea. It was amazing driving on the dunes with our driver, Masood. Afterwards, we went to Regency Sealine Camp, where we all enjoyed a BBQ for lunch. We then went back to our hotel to freshen up for the evening. We had a tour around the Waldorf Astoria Lusail Doha hotel and then had our evening meal at Sushisamba, which is one of the hotels restaurants.
