I Spent 24 hours in a Luxury Airport (Doha, Qatar)

The Airport in Doha, Qatar is one of the nicest airports in the world. It is home to the Al Mourjan Business Lounge which was voted the best in the world in 2022. I spent a full day exploring this lounge as well as a transit hotel inside the airport.

When all other hubs were shutdown during Covid April 2020, Hamad International remained open. Qatar Airways kept their services going. Getting people home. I was locked down in Kuwait when Qatar Airways and The Australian Consulate arranged a flight out to get me home to Brisbane. My colleagues didn’t see their families for a year but Qatar got me home to my wife and kids when nobody else could. I’ll be forever grateful to them. Great airline.

I was connecting a flight from Zanzibar to Texas at Qatar. Long story short I was stuck at the airport for nearly 4 days lol. Flights from Qatar to Texas leave every 2 days. The business class lounge made things a lot easier for sure and the showers were absolutely amazing lol.

@@jazeelhusain6254 it was during Covid when Qatar was not allowing any tourists into the country at all. Since the overnight hotels were outside the airport, they were closed to travellers as well. I arrived two days early waiting for my flight to Texas not knowing any of this as there were no updates. Then I missed my flight and had to wait another two days! Lol. I had to ask the military (international affairs) for permission to stay that long as it was not allowed and so they were trying to get me to take a flight to NewYork, the other side of America 😂. I ended up staying 4 days at the business class lounge (probably a world record). Now you have the long story haha.

Qatar Airlines is the best airline. ❤❤ On so many levels. 2018 i got very sick at the airport, when I landed from Bangkok, and several people of the Qatar Airways stuff took so good care of me. They took me to a medical center at the airport. Then the business lounge to rest. Then they booked a hotel room near the airport so I could sleep properly. And got me a new flight the day after. I could never thank them. enough for what they did for me, and how protected i felt. So professional and humble at the same time. Love Qatar Airways ❤

Totally agreed with u about the QR lounge is one of the top notch around the world. Just been there in 10 and 22 Nov and can't be more satisfied. My transit time was only around 3 hours at the early morning but still very happy with the food (breakfast stuffs that served alacar-te), the shower and spa indeed. Didnt catch the pool as well as the restaurant and probably I did enter the other lounges (cause it looks different inside from your film with mine). One point that you had spent almost 24 hours in the lounge but I heard and read the rule only allow customers to stay in it around three hours max. Is it true? and how come you would stay there in such a long time?? Best and cheers!🤟✌

Trust me, as a woman myself, you will not feel safer than you will in any of the Gulf countries. It is super safe all day and night. People dont lock their doors and if you forget your purse it most probably still be where you left it untouched - that level of safe. Dohas airport is awesome, and flights are usually convinient since its in the middle of east and west, and qatar airways is also one of the best airlines outthere. Dont let US media scare you from enjoying the nice things that the world has to offer.
