HIS EXCELLENCY
MR. AKBAR AL BAKER
Group Chief Executive
of Qatar Airways
Welcome
I would like to wish you all a very warm welcome aboard Qatar Airways.
Qatar Airways has reached many
milestones since the start of 2015:
inaugurating two daily Airbus A350
XWB flights on the Frankfurt route;
participating in the world’s leading
travel fair at ITB Berlin, where we
positioned interactive displays of
our First Class A380 seat, as well as
the Business Class seat on board the
A350 XWB. We also recently wrapped
up the 6th Qatar International Food
Festival in Doha at the end of
March, where Qatar Airways was
the presenting partner, showcasing
the very latest and best in-flight
culinary options.
As we approach the spring season,
we will introduce several
enhancements across the airline’s route
map, including additional flights to a
host of destinations, namely Spain, Italy,
Cyprus, and South Africa. The additional
frequencies will make it even more
convenient to travel to your final
destination in the shortest possible
amount of time.
In a few months Qatar Airways will
introduce the first Airbus A350 XWB
in Asia, when we deploy this stateof-the-art aircraft on our Singapore
route. Singapore has always been
a popular destination with our
passengers, so, to meet with this
demand and to coincide with the A350
XWB launch, we are also adding an
additional flight on the route – taking
it up to a triple-daily service.
The summer season will start with
the launch of our new route to
Amsterdam in the Netherlands, offering
holidaymakers yet another exciting city
to choose from on our network of 146
global destinations. The service will
commence on June 16 and will be
operated with a Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
Wherever your travels may take you,
we hope that Qatar Airways’ continued
commitment to service enhancements
makes your journeys even more
pleasant and productive.

Hamad International
Airport: Time well spent
Layovers are a part of international travel. But that doesn’t mean your time should be spent
just sitting at the gate. The gleaming new Hamad International Airport (HIA) was designed
with the global traveller in mind, cultivated by Qatar Airways’ expert knowledge of traveller
wants and needs and extensive consumer research.
Three top tips
First stop for all those essentials should
be the extensive Qatar Duty Free outlets.
There are 12 speciality stores to check
out, as well as last-minute shopping at
the QDF express shops on each
concourse. Plan your shopping spree
with our QDF directory on page 94.
oryxinflightmagazine.com
Pick up beautifully-packaged gifts
for family and friends at Marmalade
Market. A plethora of tasty treats,
some unique to HIA, are sourced from
leading brands across the globe,
such as biscuits, honey, olive oils,
and Turkish delight.
Let kids run off any steam on one
of the beautiful Tom Otterness
copper playgrounds. See how
many little people you can find!
Less Than 1 Hour
1–2 Hours
2–4 Hours
Pick up all your duty-free essentials
at Qatar Duty Free, which also has
express mobile carts that roam the
gates. To relax, the Oryx lounge
offers a comfortable atmosphere
complemented by superior
hospitality provided by the Oryx
lounge staff. The lounge offers food
and beverage services, a smoking
room, business centre, lockers, a
quiet zone, Internet, and a gaming
room for kids. Your lounge access
may even be included with your
ticket. But if not, no matter. Economy
passengers can access the lounge
for a nominal fee of QAR 140 (US$38).
Feeling peckish? Stop in at Eat
Street where you can travel
the world of food, or Jamocha
Café (found towards the ends of
concourses A and B) for a hot cup of
organically grown South American
coffee and a sumptuous freshly baked
patisserie to go. Now sated, go on
a whistle-stop art hunt, starting at
the unmissable Urs Fischer’s sevenmetre centrepiece Lamp Bear in the
main concourse, and seek out the
many other inspiring pieces
by celebrated artists.
A perfect amount of time to enjoy
a sit-down meal. Choose from
Qataf Café, which serves traditional
Arabian cuisine with a modern twist;
Soprafino, for Italian-style fine dining
from celebrity chef Massimo Capra;
and Le Grand Comptoir, a French
brasserie-style restaurant. There’s
also Caviar House & Prunier
Seafood Bar where everything
is freshly prepared in front of the
guests. Of course, you can shop
with far more time on your hands or
refresh at one of the expert beauty
counters in the world’s largest airport
perfume and cosmetics hall.
4–6 Hours
6–8 Hours
More Than 8 Hours
No airport in the world screams
‘shopping spree’ like HIA – whose
revolutionary Qatar Duty Free retail
area offers unprecedented access
to exclusive top international
brands – signature watches at GMT,
electronics at Pulse, the chance to
meet a dinosaur and interact with
toys at Bumble Tree, contemporary
fashion at Junction, and the
quintessential gentleman’s boutique
at Esquire are just some of the
unique offerings!
The Airport Hotel offers four-star
hospitality for stays as short as
1–4 hours, making the hotel’s
offerings ideal for those with any
significant layover. A focused
Vitality Wellbeing & Fitness
Centre features a temperaturecontrolled 25-metre swimming
pool, fully-equipped gymnasium
with personal instructors, and a
pair of squash courts, as well as
a spa where you can unwind with
a soothing massage and facial.
Seeing the wonders of Qatar itself
is a great way to spend an extended
layover. Qatar Airways and Qatar
Tourism Authority operate from
the airport a free, three-hour bus
tour of Doha’s major attractions
including the Museum of Islamic
Art, the Corniche, West Bay area,
Katara Cultural and Heritage
Village, The Pearl-Qatar, and
Souq Waqif.

Meryl
Streep
Now showing on board
selected aircraft in the ‘Meryl
Streep Collection’ until the
end of July 2015
Three-time Academy Award winner Meryl Streep
has done it all during an almost 40-year career
that has seen her evolve into one of the most
revered talents in Hollywood.
& Julia (2009) as famous chef Julia Child,
and in the role that ended her Oscar
drought, a caring and insightful
portrayal of former British prime
minister Margaret Thatcher in The Iron
Lady (2011), a role Streep has repeatedly
called “a privilege”. One never knows
where Streep will turn up now: A romantic
comedy (Hope Springs, 2012), a family
drama (August: Osage County, 2013),
even a fantasy (Into the Woods, 2014).
But one can be sure that seeing her ply
her craft will most certainly be
a privilege of its own.
Mamma Mia!
Hope Springs
August: Osage County
ENJOYING THE NOW
While incomplete, Hollywood’s change in
attitude towards older actresses has made
it possible for Streep to enjoy the present
rather than miss the past. “I’m aware of
how lucky we all are to be living right now,
to be here, to be doing what we do, to
be engaged in something we love doing,
which is making movies. I really love doing
it,” she says. “The opportunities that have
kept coming [my way are] a miracle to
me. It’s different now than it’s been in the
history of movies. Women my age used to
have one foot in the old-age home, so that
change is remarkable.”

without victories, portraying a Danish
plantation owner living in Kenya in Out
of Africa.
It would be almost 30 years before
Streep would win another Oscar, but it
wasn’t for lack of praise.
She received nominations for her
work in a pair of big-screen adaptations
– Postcards from the Edge, based on
Carrie Fisher’s novel, in 1990; and The
Bridges of Madison County, opposite
Clint Eastwood, based on Robert James
Waller’s romance novel, in 1995. In
between, she even took a turn in an
action film, The River Wild (1994). The
turn of the century saw a shift of sorts
in Streep’s career. While her roots were
in drama, a successful career brought
with it the opportunity for selectivity
and the opportunity to go in new
directions.
Comedy – which she had sparingly
done previously, as in Death Becomes
Her (1992) – opened up a new batch of
roles, including demanding magazine
editor Miranda Priestly in The Devil
Wears Prada (2006), as well as
opportunities in the musical arena as
country-music singer Yolanda Johnson
in Robert Altman’s A Prairie Home
Companion (2006), and as Donna in the
film adaptation of the ABBA musical
Mamma Mia! (2008).
But Streep’s aforementioned curiosity
has perhaps been best served in her
biographical roles, most recently in Julie
© cinemafestival / Shutterstock; © Dimitrios Kambouris / Getty Images
“One of the most important keys to
acting is curiosity,” the iconic actress
declares. “I am curious to the point of
being nosy. What that means is you
want to devour lives. You’re eager to put
on their shoes and wear their clothes
and have them become a part of you.
All people contain mystery, and when
you act, you want to plumb that mystery
until everything is known to you.”
No quote gives deeper insight into
Streep’s approach to acting than this,
covering a known meticulous approach
to preparation as well as a passion for
the characters she portrays. She invests
herself in each role, as all great
thespians do, and in so doing has
made herself a veritable cinematic
chameleon, capable in drama
or comedy, love story or musical.
Her first of an industry-record 19
Oscar nominations came for 1977’s The
Deer Hunter, starring opposite Robert
De Niro and Christopher Walken, for
which she earned consideration as Best
Supporting Actress. A year later, she
would bring home the prize in the
same category, for her turn as a woman
who abandons her family only to come
back and fight for custody of her son in
Kramer vs. Kramer with Dustin Hoffman.
Streep had nestled into powerful
dramatic roles at that point, earning the
Academy Award for Best Actress for her
work in 1982’s Sophie’s Choice before
kicking off a long string of nominations

What’s in my travel bag
Furne One
Fashion designer Furne One, owner of Amato
Haute Couture, is one of the most prominent
designers on the global fashion scene.
Words by Diana Farid
Furne, originally from the Philippines,
started sketching at the age of 10,
inspired by his mother’s passion for
beautiful clothes. His first venture
into fashion saw him win the MEGA
Magazine Young Designer of the
Philippines award in 1994. Later, in
2002, he opened his first store in
Dubai and, ever since, has played
a pivotal role in the creative
fashion industry. Hand-picked
fabrics are the canvas to create
unique hand-stitched beadwork
embellishments. Rich textures
and intricate techniques make
his brand the choice of many
celebrities, including Katy Perry,
Jennifer Lopez, Heidi Klum,
and Nicole Scherzinger.
The travel
Since Furne is
inspired by old
tales and historical
surroundings, it’s not surprising
that one of his favourite destinations
is Versailles. “I like to visit Versailles
during the spring because I find
it a breathtaking and imaginative
place. For me, seeing the palace
makes it a dreamy and romantic
destination to visit. The lakes, the
palace, and the hilltop, make me feel
I am living a dream; it reminds me of
a fairy tale. Also Austria during winter
gives the same feeling of magic
and romance.”
My personal care products:
“I like to carry cosmetics and a range
of skincare products – first is my Amato
perfume. Also, I can’t travel without
my salt hairspray; it is very refreshing,
hence vital that I have it with me at all
times. Last is my Evian vaporiser, which
is a delightful mist to rehydrate skin.
I must always have it
with me while
travelling.”
The bag: “My travel bag is the Louis
Vuitton Keepall 55 Monogram bag.
I love everything about it, and I find it
very durable. It is just amazing, and the
size is perfect for my travel needs.”
My gadgets: “I can’t travel without my
mobile phone and tablet. When I say
‘gadgets’, Apple is my most beloved
brand – it has always been my favourite
ever since I can remember.”
My scarves: “Among my essential
trip companions is my collection of
scarves, which I wear during summer
or winter. During winter I tend to
opt more for silk and cashmere
fabric. My favourite colours are grey
and black; I like black so much
I even wear it during summer.”
Footwear: “I’m more than comfortable
to travel with any sneakers, but lately
I found myself falling
in love with Versace
sneakers; I am just crazy
about them. Again,
my favourite colours
are black, grey, and
metallic.”

Nikki Beach Resort & Spa
Porto Heli, Greece
Trend-setting Nikki Beach has released its unique vibe on Porto Heli, Greece. And, just like that,
the Greek Riviera’s coolest lifestyle boutique resort and spa has been born. Words by Antoní Loza
Looking out at the calm azure waters
of the Aegean Sea, one readily sees why
Nikki Beach founder Jack Penrod gave
the nod to open the brand’s first resort
and spa in Porto Heli: it’s simply stunning.
Set in one of the most picturesque
and exclusive locations on the Greek
mainland, the fully refurbished 1970s
hotel is reminiscent of an art deco
building on Miami’s South Beach (home
of the original Nikki Beach Club). It boasts
66 elegantly designed, technologically
advanced, panoramic seafront rooms
and suites. Most suites come with private
outdoor entertainment areas and pools,
FLIGHT FREQUENCY
and every room is a comfortable
sanctuary. Even if the luxuriously
chilled-out Beach Club is pumping,
the sound-proofing in the rooms is
so good that you won’t hear a thing.
But chances are you will want to hear,
and see, what’s happening at the Beach
Club. With its lavish themed events and
excellent tunes, delicious food and drinks,
and staff who are both attentive and
friendly, guests are reminded why they
came to the Nikki Beach Resort & Spa in
Porto Heli: to bask in its world-renowned
ambiance and truly feel like a VIP.

Qatar Airways has two non-stop flights a day from Doha to Athens
Get Nikki Beach to arrange a water
taxi to whisk you to Spetses (10-minute
ride), one of the most beautiful and
exclusive islands in all of Greece.
A playground for the jet-set, many
of Spetses’ neo-classical villas and
Côte d’Azur-esque mansions were
originally built by wealthy Greek
ship owners over a century ago.

CHOOSING YOUR
BUSINESS LUGGAGE
1. Four-wheeled ‘spinners’ are easier to
manoeuvre, while two-wheeled cases
are better over any rougher ground.
Four wheels add weight, reduce
internal volume, and can break off.
Two-wheeled cases tend to have larger
wheels with sealed bearings, meaning
dirt can’t get inside the wheels.
Suitcases are fairly simple products; the right carry-on luggage
should last you for years. There is no one-size-fits-all, but here are
our top tips for the short-stay business traveller.
2. Choose a case that has an internal suit
compartment, such as the TUMI Arrivé,
or Samsonite Silhouette Sphere, which
has a removable trifold suiter.
3. Too many souvenirs to bring back? Most
expandables have wraparound zips, but
these can break under pressure. The
Briggs & Riley Baseline has internal
brackets that expand when you pack,
and compress to minimise your load.
4. Soft-sided luggage tends to be lighter,
yet technology like Rimowa’s Salsa Air
22 weighs just 1.9kg. Hard shells tend to
get more noticeable scratches and are
less flexible when over-packed.
5. Too many pockets, and you’ll keep
misplacing items. Be careful not to
over-pack external pockets, as that
laptop might tip the whole bag over.
TECKNOMONSTER
The limited-edition TecknoMonster
Kasor range is protected by dark grey
carbon fibre shells, inspired by aviation
and aerospace technology. Customised
indestructible bullet-proof panels can
be added to ensure the cases are ‘totally

Carolin Zeitler
Carolin Zeitler is a woman who has created a hub of
leadership around her. Her How Women Work community
is a robust collective that has grown around an annual
conference and its many spin-offs, such as the How Women
Succeed Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) book project,
and year-round seminars and retreats. We caught up with
her in Doha to get a mini-lesson in leadership training.
Interviewed by Mohana Rajakumar
What are the leadership
opportunities for women in Qatar?
There is a spirit of sisterhood and
feeling of connectedness between
many of us. We want to connect,
exchange, and support each other.
That’s why events like the How
Women Work conference and our
Mastermind and Soul Sisters groups
are so important; they go beyond
what a networking group can do
and provide more depth, a more
solid support system.
You recently re-branded your
leadership coaching company.
Tell us about that process.
My first coaching brand in Qatar
was Arcata Communication Coaching,
and it did really well. We offered our
clients a strategic partnership that
would enable them to grow their
leaders to the next level, to engage
their employees more effectively,
to attract and retain female talent to
their company. When we rebranded,
we chose an Arabic name, since we
operate exclusively in the region.
Our new name, Tataowar Coaching
& Consulting, is derived from the
Arabic word ‫تطور‬, which means ‘grow,
develop, evolve, improve’.
Describe your ideal day.
On my ideal day, I get up at 5.30am,
well rested and fresh. I write for about
half an hour, then do yoga for about
half an hour. I have breakfast with my
daughter. At the office, I work at my
computer. I grab a quick business
lunch with a friend and continue with
coaching appointments. At about 4pm,
I go home to spend some time with my
daughter or take the dogs to the beach.
In the evening, I sometimes like to go
to networking events or workshops.
What advice do you have for
young people starting their careers?
If you see an inspiring person, do not
hesitate to ask them to mentor you.
There is so much you can learn from a
mentoring relationship. Similarly, always
invest in your own growth; coaching is
such a powerful way to get ahead in life
and to overcome roadblocks. Don’t wait
years for life to teach you its lessons; get
a coach and discover them right away.
How do we know when a leader
is in the room?
A leader is someone who has vision,
someone who can see a brighter future
for us and convey that picture to us
with great clarity. The leader will gather
the right people around her, make use
of their talents, and quickly see to the
implementation of her vision. It might
take months or years for the project
to come to full fruition, but the leader
will be chipping away at it, making
it happen, step by step, engaging
amazing talent and useful resources
along the way, inspiring those who
come into contact with her.

Forget what you know about dune buggies.
Low-volume sports car manufacturer
Ariel has rewritten the rule book for
four-wheeled dirt machines, with its
latest creation, the Nomad.
Words by Karl Peskett
For a company that took its name from
a motorbike manufacturer, entering
the four-wheeled market was certainly
a daring move. But instead of making
a passenger car like every other
manufacturer, Ariel created something
completely unique. It’s called the Atom,
an ultra-lightweight, two-seat sports car
which is built around an exoskeleton.
Its approach and design were like
nothing seen previously, and it has been
lauded for its ultra-pure drive experience,
insane acceleration, and Velcro-like grip.
Companies even offer an ‘Atom Drive
Experience’, such is its appeal.
But there are some who, while
appreciating that setting lap times on
the blacktop is exhilarating, still hanker
for something a little dirtier. Ariel saw
an opportunity and seized it, unveiling
the appropriately named Nomad
earlier this year.
Based on the same minimalist principle
as the Atom, the Nomad benefits from a
235bhp Honda i-VTEC engine mated to
a six-speed gearbox, mounted in a 670kg
vehicle. Yes, power to weight is king at
Ariel. This gives the Nomad a tremendous
turn of speed; it clocks the 0–60mph
sprint in an unbelievable 3.4 seconds.
Let’s put that into perspective for a
moment. The Aston Martin Vanquish,
with its 568bhp V12 can only manage
3.6 seconds for the same 0–60mph
dash. Yet this off-road buggy (to put it
bluntly) with a 333bhp deficit, will leave
the Vanquish in its dust. Quite literally.
From the outside, it’s easy to dismiss
it as a mishmash bucket-o’-bolts that
someone built in their shed. That would
be to miss out on the exquisite detailing
the Nomad has on offer. You only have
to look at the beautiful bronze welds
and the machined metal to get an
appreciation for how well the Nomad
has been bolted together. Witness the
outboard suspension and its gorgeous
mountings. Look at the tubing and how
each angle is placed to create maximum
strength with minimum weight. And if
plastics are your thing, then you’ll be
pleased to know the rotationally
moulded polyethylene used for the
‘bodywork’ is the same material as is
used in road cones – it’s definitely tough.
But apart from its outright
performance, the Nomad is set up to be
completely configurable. If it’s a muddy
course you’re looking to conquer, then
you can choose a wheel and tyre
combination to suit. Loose gravel calls
for a different suspension tune and tyre
pattern – easily done. Or if you want to
carve up the Wahiba Sands at night,
then there are winches, lights, and tyres
that will help. Will it rain? There are
closable winter covers. Carbon fibre can
be used for the bonnet and engine
cover. And the spare tyre neatly stows
above the engine.
The real beauty of the Nomad,
however, is the fact that it’s completely
road legal. Lights, indicators, mirrors,
windscreen wipers – it’s all there.
And being powered by a Honda
four-cylinder, it has reliability in spades.
Cut and thrust, or rocks and dust –
the choice is yours. At least with
a Nomad, you can travel to where
the grass really is greener.
US$41,505
DUNE DUELLER
If it’s a bit of sand-bashing that takes your
fancy, but you want something a little
more sophisticated, then perhaps the
Sidewinder could be more to your taste.
Penned by Swedish firm Gray Design, it
has a 630bhp Chevrolet V8 under its
engine cover, which means it ticks the
aural-pleasure box. The comparative
0–60mph time is 4.2 seconds, while it’s
said to have a top speed on sand of just
under 100mph. OLED infotainment
screens, powered by Android, keep the
interior easy to control, and its fully
enclosed cabin means the elements are
kept out. At this stage the Sidewinder is
only a concept, but given its styling and
features, it may not be too far out of reach.

Travelling with children is lots of fun, but for a really successful flight it takes a bit of planning.
Helping to make a child’s plane journey
a richer experience needn’t mean just
watching the inflight entertainment, or
burning a hole in your vacation savings
by buying expensive toys beforehand.
A little creativity and imagination can
go a long way, and by taking the right
things in your hand luggage you can
ensure your little ones will be happy,
leaving you more time to relax.
Family travel expert Nichola West
has put together the Oryx guide to
keeping children entertained on flights:
One of the simplest things to take
on flights can be a pack of plain paper
and colouring pencils. Kids can get
creative by drawing their own holiday
adventure picture, or comic strip, or
even better, get the adults to join in too.
One of my favourite games is to each
take a turn to draw an element of the
picture. For example, the first person
draws a house, the second a hosepipe,
the third a bird pecking the hosepipe
thinking it’s a worm, and so on.
Small and lightweight, finger
puppets are great toys for younger
children on flights. Siblings and parents
can join in, create stories, and put on
shows right in your seats.
Little finger foods are perfect for
flights as they can help children deal
with changes in air pressure, but they
also take time to eat, helping the
journey appear to go faster. Raisins,
breadsticks, and fruit such as oranges
are perfect – avoid anything sticky!
For handheld devices, ensure you
have spare batteries or powerpacks.
Most Qatar Airways aircraft also have
a power point where you can
charge your personal devices.
Reading, of course, is a universally
great way to engage children of all
ages. Choose a book together before
you fly (but don’t start it until you do),
and for younger flyers look for re-usable
sticker books.
Small packs of LEGO can be
good challenges for a flight as they
can be built, played with, and then
disassembled again ready for the return
flight. Keep them in your hand luggage
for each time you fly.

ORYX TOP TIPS:
Bring out toys at regular intervals,
not all at once. As a guide, each toy or
activity can absorb around 30 minutes.
Loom Bands, Top Trumps, Play Doh,
Uno, and magnetic activity games score
highly as engaging activites, as does the
range of Usborne Activity Cards.

As temperatures rise in the Mediterranean, we check out some great coastal holidays.
Amalfi Coast
Santorini
June is an ideal time to explore the Amalfi Coast, as the weather
is a balmy 26°C on average and high season is yet to reach its peak.
Sail to the picture-postcard village of Positano with its pastelcoloured homes nestled into the rocks, and on to the
whitewashed fishing village of Praiano, the narrow cove of the
Furore fjord, and Conca dei Marini – home to the shimmering
green waters of the Emerald Grotto sea cave. Amalfi itself is a
charming town of winding alleyways, steps, and bustling squares,
and further inland the more peaceful town of Ravello perches
above the coastline with some of the most stunning views.
With 13 hours of sunshine a day and average
temperatures of 24°C, June is an ideal month
to visit Santorini. On the main island visit the
capital Fira for a breathtaking cable-car ride,
explore Akrotiri – a Minoan Bronze Age
settlement, and experience the amazing
sunsets in the attractive village of Oia.

my favourite street
Kloof Street,
Cape Town
Cape Town wears many hats, and thanks to its host of
innovative restaurants, it is the chef’s hat that many visitors
particularly want to see donned. Words by Lucy Corne
For years, Long Street has been the road
recommended to Cape Town visitors,
but while bustling Long Street is known
for its tourist-filled party vibe, its sister
street, Kloof, is lined with boutique
eateries and bespoke stores, mostly
frequented by local residents. “For me
it’s true Cape Town,” says celebrity chef
Reuben Riffel. “It’s a street just to walk up
and down or sit at a cool little restaurant
and watch the variety of people that
go by.” The street, with its hip clientele,
is a great place to spot local celebrities,
alongside everyday Capetonians.
As you leave the city behind, try
a boerewors roll at Gourmet Boerie,
a local take on the designer burger fad.
Here you can choose your toppings
and sides to go with the traditional
South African beef sausage. As you
continue south, you reach the quirky
Kloof Street House, an eclectic
restaurant in a magnificent Victorian
This is Not a Post Office
Mr & Mrs
mansion, which Reuben recommends
for a romantic dinner. As you continue
to climb – for Kloof Street sits in the
Tamboerskloof district of town, clinging
to the lower slopes of Table Mountain
– you reach Café Paradiso, a longrunning restaurant best known for its
sumptuous garden setting. “It’s a lovely
spot for al fresco dining and maybe
some celeb spotting,” says Reuben.
“Cape Town is quite busy with
international movie productions
being shot in and around the city.”
The street is best known as a
gourmand’s paradise, but it’s not all
about food, food, food. “There are
many art galleries, quirky shops,
interesting décor shops, and very cool
clothing stores,” says Reuben. Among

jewellery and fashion from South
African designers, and the
outstandingly idiosyncratic This is Not
a Post Office, a party store that’s part
of the Madame Zingara family – a
company better known for its circuslike dinner theatre.
Once you’ve shopped and scoffed,
you’ll find Kloof Street happily
sandwiched between some of the city’s
finest attractions: continuing south
– and you’ll want to get some wheels
– you eventually reach the Lower
Cableway Station, where the rotating
cable car whizzes you atop Table
Mountain. At the northern end of Kloof
Street sits the Company’s Garden,
once the vegetable patch for European
sailors and now a world-class city park
edged by excellent museums.

CHOCOLATE EGG CREAM
(serves 4)
You can almost count on one hand how
many places there are left in New York
where you can get an egg cream (which
contains neither egg nor cream!), but
once upon a time they were available on
nearly every block. One of the staples of
the classic soda fountains that became
the city’s gathering places during
Prohibition, the egg cream is a uniquely
New York creation – people from
Brooklyn claim it’s from Brooklyn, people
from Manhattan say it’s from Manhattan.
Who invented it and where doesn’t really
matter; we’re just happy it exists.

DANIEL HUMM
Daniel Humm is the chef/owner of Eleven Madison Park, and the
food and beverage spaces at the NoMad Hotel, where he creates
modern American cuisine that emphasises purity, simplicity, and
seasonal flavours and ingredients. A classicist who embraces
contemporary gastronomy, Daniel’s delicate and precise cooking
style is experienced through constantly evolving menus.
A native of Switzerland, Daniel knew
from an early age that his true passion
was cooking. The son of an architect,
he took his inherited sense of structure
and design and applied it to the
kitchen. By the age of 14, he had started
his formal training with his first culinary
apprenticeship. From there he went on
to work at many of Switzerland’s finest
hotels and restaurants, including the
Michelin three-star restaurant Le Pont
de Brent, where he met his mentor,
Gérard Rabaey.
Soon thereafter, Daniel became first
Executive Chef position at Gasthaus
zum Gupf in the Swiss Alps. During his
time there, he earned a Michelin star,
and Gault et Millau named him ‘Culinary
Discovery’ in Switzerland 2002.
In 2003, Daniel moved to the USA
to take the position of Executive Chef
at Campton Place in San Francisco.
He immediately garnered attention
for his innovative interpretation of
contemporary French cuisine, earning
four stars from the San Francisco
Chronicle and being named 2004's
Rising Star Chef.
In 2006, Daniel joined Danny Meyer’s
Union Square Hospitality Group as the
executive chef of Eleven Madison
Park, quickly transforming the
restaurant into one of the city’s top
dining destinations.
In 2009, the restaurant was awarded
its first Michelin star; the following year
it was inducted onto the San Pellegrino
list of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants;
and Daniel received the award for Best
Chef, New York City from the James
Beard Foundation.
More was to follow. In 2011, it
received the James Beard Award for
Outstanding Restaurant in America,
moved up to 24th on the San Pellegrino
list, and received three Michelin stars.
The following year, Daniel and Will
Guidara bought Eleven Madison Park
and went on to open the restaurant in
the NoMad Hotel; Humm received the
James Beard Award for Outstanding
Chef in America, while Eleven Madison
Park moved up to 10th on the San
Pellegrino list, and it currently sits an
exceptional 4th on the San Pellegrino list
of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants.

Malmaison, Oxford
It doesn’t get much more historic than ancient Rome, and within the Italian
capital there are few locations offering such a rich ambience as Da Pancrazio.
Metres from the Campo de’ Fiori, the restaurant is built above the Theatre
of Pompey, dating from 100BCE. Famously it was the location of the murder
of Julius Caesar, but today it’s in the hands of a fourth-generation family
specialising in local Roman cuisine. Dishes range from a home-made artichoke
ravioli to beef fillet in the Rossini style to a classic Italian tiramisu.

The Game of Dama
A traditional game of skill and strategy is finding a new audience in Qatar.
© Sylvie Vanroey
© Sylvie Vanroey
Words by Kate Lord Brown
In a bustling side street of Souq Waqif
lined with spice shops and tempting
sacks of fragrant herbs, there is a quiet
room where locals meet to enjoy the
traditional Qatari game of Dama.
Beyond the picturesque barred
and stained-glass windows of the Majlis
Al Dama, passers-by can glimpse pairs
of competitors, silent, concentrating,
their attention trained on the type of
chequered board which is familiar to
players of draughts or checkers the
world over. The Dama board, however,
is often marked in black lines on white
rather than alternating black and white
squares, and the game has entirely
different rules from the Western variants.
It is believed the game originated
in Ancient Egypt, and Dama was
traditionally played by kings and
noblemen. The game gradually found
popularity at all levels of society. It was
played across the Gulf region, and
variants are also popular in Turkey, the
Philippines, and North Africa, where it
is known as Doma. In quieter, pre-oil
days it was a source of entertainment
which could be seen played in certain
meeting places in old Doha, outside
shops and houses, and by fishermen
on the shores of the Arabian Gulf.
Seafarers would carry the pieces in
their pockets, and play on simple
boards marked out on cloth.
Dama is played on an eight-by-eight
chequered board totalling 64 squares.
The players each have 16 pieces, the
hatab or soldiers, which can be won or
lost to the competitor. The pieces begin
in two ranks on the second and third
rows in from each player, and they are
red and black, or black and white.
The lighter colour moves first. Dama is
a game of some finesse, which involves
strategic thinking, like chess, and it
has been described as a game of the
mind. Through a series of attacks and
defences, the player aims to have their
hatab reach the final line of the board,
a position where they become
crowned as a ‘sheikh’ or king piece,
which will give the player an advantage
in the game. The winner is the last
person to complete a legal move, and
the end of the game often comes when
one player has lost all their pieces.
Dama has seen a revival in popularity
among young locals, and the Al Dama
Council has established its centre in
Souq Waqif so that anyone can drop in
and accept the challenge of a game. It
is thanks to the government-sponsored
Council that the game has found a
new audience, and the traditional
Qatari building with its comfortable
wood-panelled room is also a relaxing
place to enjoy a coffee and chat with
friends. Visitors interested in learning
the game can pick up tips, and take
part in practice games.
The Council also stages Dama
championships on National Day and
in the spring and summer, attracting
new players each year. There are
eight championships a year, and the
tournaments are as much about
teaching new generations a game
that was enjoyed by their fathers
and grandfathers as they are about
competition. The matches encourage
friendly games among young and
old, Doha neighbourhood teams,
and outstanding international players.
Thanks to the Majlis Al Dama, in a
corner of Souq Waqif, an important
part of Qatar’s heritage has been
preserved and reinvigorated for
future generations.
If you do not have the chance to visit the
Majlis Al Dama in Souq Waqif, you can
learn to play Dama online at iTunes, or
Google Play, both of which have versions
available for free. After mastering the rules
of Dama, it is said that a month’s practice
will make you a competent player.

Not far from the government buildings and official atmosphere of downtown
Washington, the route from Georgetown to U Street presents a vibrant mixture of history,
culture, shopping, entertainment, and scenery that is perfect for exploring.
Shoes, which carry a curated selection
of chic women’s clothes and footwear.
A short way farther along M, Cady’s
Alley has several high-end furniture
and design stores, while antique-sellers,
gourmet food and tea shops, and other
speciality stores dot nearby streets.
The Old Stone House, nestled
inconspicuously among the modern
shops and restaurants on M Street –
Georgetown’s main thoroughfare
– is the oldest surviving house in
Washington, dating back to 1765.
Now open to the public, its handful
of small rooms, furnished in period
antiques, offer a glimpse of middleclass life in early America.
Just south of M Street, the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal,
constructed between 1828 and 1850
as a trade route bypassing unnavigable
sections of the Potomac, is an especially
picturesque spot. In warm months,
the towpath that runs along the 297km
canal is a favourite with strolling
families, joggers, and bicyclists.
Steps away is the Potomac, flanked
by the landscaped Georgetown
Waterfront Park and the Washington
Harbour complex, housing several
dining establishments popular for both
brunch and dinner. Fiola Mare,
chef-owner Fabio Trabocchi’s third
venue, opened in early 2014 and quickly
earned accolades as the city’s best
restaurant for Mediterranean-style
seafood. Excellent views of the river, plus
Washington landmarks including the
Kennedy Center, Watergate complex,
and Key Bridge, complement the
well-prepared grilled fish and shellfish.
The intersection of M Street and
Wisconsin Avenue forms the heart of
Georgetown’s commercial district,
featuring a plethora of fashionable
brands – from Kate Spade, Tory Burch,
and BCBG Max Azria to Diesel, Lacoste,
and Coach – as well as independent
boutiques such as Hu’s Wear and Hu’s
To the northeast of Georgetown is
Dupont Circle, one of the city’s most
attractively designed roundabouts,
from which three major arteries radiate.
With its marble fountain, benches, and
concrete chessboard tables, the tiny
park in the centre is a popular gathering
spot, particularly during warm months.
The surrounding neighbourhood is
filled with elegant turn-of-the-century
buildings and brownstones that are now
as likely to hold diplomatic missions, think
tanks, and non-governmental institutions
as apartments. Embassy Row, roughly
the area extending northwest of the
Circle between Massachusetts and
Connecticut Avenues, lays claim to the
largest concentration of Washington’s
embassies, among them those of
Indonesia, India, Kenya, and South Korea.

Long one of Washington’s most
affluent enclaves – famous residents
have included Lincolns, Kennedys,
and other political leaders, diplomats,
statesmen, and society mavens –
Georgetown has a certain genteel
air about it and also boasts the city’s
most sophisticated shopping scene.
The Gothic revival-style campus of
Georgetown University, founded in
1789 as Washington’s first institution of
higher learning and still one of its most
prestigious, abuts the neighbourhood.
Don’t leave Georgetown without
trying one of its contemporary
traditions: cupcakes. Extreme sweet
tooths will delight in Georgetown
Cupcake’s concoctions, topped with
a decadent amount of buttercream
frosting, while Baked & Wired has
a loyal following for its uncommon
flavours like carrot cake and chai.
Expect queues out of the door at both
places, particularly on weekends.

ashington’s oldest
neighbourhood, Georgetown
conveys a palpable sense
of history in its narrow, cobblestoned
streets lined with well-kept brick row
houses dating back to the late 18th
and early 19th centuries. This busy port
on the Potomac River during the late
colonial period remained a separate
town until its incorporation into the
city of Washington in 1871.

Also on U Street is the historic
Lincoln Theatre, a cinema and stage
built in 1922 for black audiences who
were kept out of other venues because
of segregation. Restored in the 1990s,
the grand performance hall now hosts
big-name musical acts, comedy shows,
and other events.
Also in Dupont Circle is the Phillips
Collection, the city’s premier private art
museum, with an outstanding collection
of European and American art ranging
from works by Impressionists including
Monet, Cézanne, and Degas to modern
artists such as Mark Rothko, Wassily
Kandinsky, and Willem de Kooning.
Founded in 1921 by industrial heir
Duncan Phillips, the gallery is housed
in the family’s charming 1897 mansion
and two adjoining wings.
Kapnos, helmed by former Top Chef
contestant Mike Isabella, serves up a
feast of flavourful Greek-inspired mezes,
spit-roast meats such as marinated
lamb and baby goat, and stone-baked
flatbreads. Its next-door sister
establishment, G, treats diners to
a four-course Italian tasting menu on
Wednesday through to Sunday night,
doubling during the daytime as a casual
joint offering sandwiches and light fare
to eat on-site or take away.
Farther down 14th, one of the most
talked-about recent openings is
Philadelphia restaurateur Stephen Starr’s
Le Diplomate, featuring a well-made
menu of French classics – from veal
escalope to moules-frites – in a warm
brasserie ambiance that practically
transports diners to Paris. Nearby Etto
serves innovative daily specials of
Italian-influenced small plates – such
as smoked Spanish mackerel on crostini,
or Piedmontese-style rabbit with green
tomato jam – along with artisanal
pizzas. Numerous other cuisines can be
sampled within just a few blocks’ radius,
from Latin American to Southeast Asian
to Ethiopian.
While most of these top tables have
opened up just in the last few years, one
noteworthy U Street eatery has been in
business since 1958: Ben’s Chili Bowl,
serving US diner-style food, including its
famous chili, is a veritable DC institution
whose regular patrons have included
celebrities and presidents.
A short walk north is Meridian
Hill Park (also known as Malcolm X
Park), a lovely urban oasis with
Italian-style gardens, statuary, and the
continent’s largest cascading fountain.
Frequented by Washingtonians from
diverse walks of life, it’s the ideal place
to sit back and take in the lively scene
in the US capital.
WASHINGTON WITH CHILDREN
Destination DC
East of Dupont, U Street – a historic
centre of Washington’s African-American
cultural life, once frequented by musical
greats such as Duke Ellington, Cab
Calloway, and Sarah Vaughan – has
recently been revitalised after several
decades of decline. The U Street
corridor and the intersecting section
of 14th Street now form one of the
city’s buzziest quarters, filled with
dozens of trendy dining and
entertainment venues.
Other noteworthy arts destinations in
the vicinity include the 9:30 Club, which
regularly draws established singers and
bands, and the Black Cat, with a more
eclectic line-up. The well-regarded
Studio Theater, an independent
theatre company operating since 1978,
and the Source Theater, which plays
host to several companies in residence
in addition to various festivals, are both
located on 14th St.
It might be known as a government town,
but Washington has plenty to delight
children. A perennial favourite is the
Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum
– the most visited museum in the USA –
which showcases everything from aircraft
and space shuttles to astronaut gear and
Moon rocks. Another top draw is the
National Zoo, home to some 300 species of
animals, including big cats, Asian elephants,

HOTEL MADERA
Located just two blocks from Dupont Circle, the 82-room Hotel Madera – part of
the Kimpton brand of boutique-style hotels – feels like an intimate pied-à-terre.
The hip yet cosy accommodation features bold colours and design flair, along
with pleasantly quirky touches such as animal-print bathrobes. Service is attentive,
bikes can be borrowed gratis, and Firefly restaurant, serving seasonal US comfort
food, is a trendy neighbourhood hangout in its own right. hotelmadera.com
RASIKA RESTAURANT
Rasika is not just a restaurant, it’s an
experience – from the contemporary
interpretations of traditional Indian
regional dishes and grilled specialities
to the upscale service and chic vibe.
James Beard award-winning chef
Vikram Sunderam’s innovative menu
– which varies slightly between the
Penn Quarter and West End locations
– includes delicate flavour
combinations such as black cod with
fresh dill, honey, and star anise.
Don’t miss the signature appetiser,
palak chaat: crispy spinach served with
sweet yogurt and a tamarind sauce.

farmers’ markets have become
popular destinations. Eastern Market,
a red-brick edifice dating to 1873 and
restored in 2009, is the longest-running
emporium, with a craft and flea market
in addition to food. Opened in 2012,
the more out-of-the-way Union
Market features trendy craft producers
and eateries. Dupont Circle’s outdoor

Hunting Down
the New Black…
Marsala, a muted shade of reddish brown, was decreed the colour of 2015 by Pantone,
the global authority on colour. But can a single colour truly define 365 days?
Words by Libby Banks
Every year designers of all stripes
wait in anticipation for the Pantone
Color Institute to unveil its colour
of the year. This is the single hue
that is set to influence tastes for the
next 12 months. Last year’s colour of
choice was Radiant Orchid, a zingy
shade of purple that was said to
herald an era of economic recovery
and optimism. Its predecessors
Emerald (2013) and Tangerine Tango
(2012) are similarly vibrant tones.
But this year’s Pantone Color of the
Year, a muted shade of brick-red
branded ‘Marsala’, evokes a very
different mood.
MARSALA
PANTONE 18 -1438
The colour of 2015 is rich, sophisticated,
and elegant. “While captivating Radiant
Orchid, the 2014 colour of the year,
encouraged creativity and innovation,
Marsala enriches our mind, body, and
soul, exuding confidence and stability,”
explains Leatrice Eiseman, Executive
Director of the Pantone Color Institute.
Selecting the Pantone Colour of the
Year is a big deal. The announcement
has a cult-like following among
creatives and retailers looking for that
secret ingredient to boost future sales,
but Pantone’s decision-making process
remains shrouded in mystery. Each year
Pantone gathers a committee of
international colour forecasters whose
identities are largely kept secret.
The group debates colour-related
trends gathered from around the world.
Influences range from art exhibitions
to emerging trends on the streets.
Eventually the group collectively decide
on the hue that is destined to become
the new black.
While the concept of colour
forecasting sounds a little abstract, it is
almost as old as the fashion industry
itself. In the late 19th century colour
cards issued by French textile mills were
snapped up by their US counterparts,
keen for some inspiration and direction.
Sceptics may argue that fuss over a
single colour is unwarranted, but it’s
hard to deny that colour helps to forge
some striking mental associations, from
political leanings to emotional
wellbeing. Colour is often used as a way
for brands to build a sense of identity
and exclusivity. Tiffany’s robin’s egg
blue and Harrods’ racing green are both
unmistakable, and the signature red
soles on Christian Louboutin shoes are
deemed unique enough to justify
lawsuits against rivals that have
attempted to replicate the colour.
But why did Pantone choose
Marsala? Eiseman says, “We felt it was
time for something that spoke to
people’s real needs – the need of
nurturing, the need for something
more robust that had a life force that
was intrinsic to it. The most interesting
thing about Marsala, I think, is that even
though it has this grounded influence,
this earthy undertone we see in the
wine-red, at the same time, it has this
sophistication. There is something very
versatile about the colour.” She also
argues that there are infinite
applications: “This hearty yet stylish
tone is universally appealing and
translates easily to fashion, beauty,
industrial design, home furnishings,
and interiors.”
MARSALA FOR FASHION
When it comes to the design industry,
it’s fascinating to track the inroads
Marsala has made. It has already been
seen in influential fashion houses’
recent collections – Marsala trousers,
coats, and dresses appeared in the
Spring/Summer 2015 menswear and
womenswear by Dries Van Noten, Louis
Vuitton, Dior, and Burberry Prorsum.
Eiseman believes that the colour will
continue to gain ground in 2015, and
she expects to see the hue used in
floral prints and striping, and as a
dramatic accompaniment to neutrals
such as warmer taupes and greys.
The shade is also a perfect fit for the
1970s-inspired fashion silhouettes
currently hitting store shelves.

MARSALA FOR BEAUTY
Unlike its predecessor Radiant Orchid,
Marsala possesses the rare quality of
being flattering to all skin tones, which
makes it a welcome addition to any
make-up palette. Eiseman recommends
pairing the hue with peachy pinks,
bronze, and antique gold metallics,
as well as smoky-neutral tones. It also
makes for a brilliantly elegant nail
polish. The colour lends itself to
scent, too: richly toned leather, juniper,
pomegranate, and rhubarb are all
on track to become big fragrance
trends this year.
MARSALA FOR INTERIORS
When it comes to the home, Marsala’s
power lies in its ability to provide a rich
accent without being overpowering.
It is therefore perfect for introducing
some welcoming warmth into a sleek
and minimal décor.

From this May, Milan will welcome 20 million visitors to its
citywide EXPO2015 event. Milanese expert Tristan Rutherford tours
the city’s brand-new art, architecture, and epicurean sights.

Milan isn’t Florence or Venice. Italy’s commercial capital is the epicentre
of Italian finance, fashion, industry, and design. New openings from food to fine art
dovetail with the EXPO2015 celebrations.
INDUSTRIAL-STRENGTH ART
A swathe of new museums have
opened in anticipation of the
expected EXPO visitors. Most of them
are housed in the vast warehouses
that once formed the beating heart
of Milan’s manufacturing zone.
Visitors to the HangarBicocca step
into the pitch black of a former
factory depot. Here 18m-high
industrial sculptures are spotlit from
above like icons from the
engineering age. The new Children’s
Museum (MUBA) is housed in the
Rotonda della Besana, a baroque
building complex near the Prada
headquarters. Meanwhile the Museo
del Novecento is set within the
1950s Palazzo dell’Arengario, but has
a distinctly contemporary spiral ramp
that corkscrews up to a panoramic
viewing terrace. Back downstairs, the
museum shows a collection of
seldom-seen canvases from Matisse,
de Chirico, and Modigliani.
The HangarBicocca
But the city’s latest hotels house
the future. IKEA-owned concept
hotel Moxy targets smartphoneaddicted Millennials with receptionarea DJs and a communal Instagram
feed. Its 17m2 guestrooms are built
for recharging guests and their
peripherals with high-thread-count
linens and more plug sockets than
NASA’s headquarters. Most
components arrived flatpacked,
meaning the Moxy was assembled in
just six months in 2014. After Milan,
the concept will be slowly unpacked
across the world.

The HangarBicocca – Melotti
This spring, all eyes are on
the brand-new Fondazione Prada,
due to open in May in tandem with the
EXPO event. The Prada fashion family’s
vast exhibition space was designed by
Dutch urban architect Rem Koolhaas. In
keeping with Milan’s industrial heritage,
Koolhaas’s team took over a century-old
brewery and added an ultra-modern
eight-storey viewing tower. Foundation
boss Miuccia Prada hopes it will
become “a new landmark in Milan’s
urban landscape”. All told, there will be
11,000m2 of space for temporary shows,
plus Prada’s own contemporary art
collection. Plus a library and cinema.
And a bar styled by the movie
industry’s most off-the-wall director,
Wes Anderson.
21ST-CENTURY SLEEPS
As Italy’s design and fashion capital,
Milan’s hotels cater for everyone from
visiting aesthetes to the editor of
Vogue. The Bulgari boasts B&B Italia
furniture. SevenStars Galleria blends
vistas over the flagship Prada store
with a ‘seven-star’ butler service. And
the Armani Hotel is a golden glass
cube atop a designer sandwich of
Armani Jeans, Armani Casa, and the
Armani Privé nightclub.
Il Duca, terrace
Il Duca opens later in 2015. Suites at
this five-star hotel are wired up as
integrated digital media hubs – which
translates as hands-free phones and
interactive mood lighting. More
low-key is the recently opened Magna
Pars. Its 28 suites have been decorated
by artists from the nearby Brera Fine
Arts Academy. Its pairing of innovative
design with local talent marks Milan’s
21st-century ambitions.

NEXT NEIGHBOURHOOD
Creating one of Europe’s largest
construction projects? It’s best to
bring in the big names. For CityLife,
Milan’s entirely new neighbourhood,
the architects are more famous than
the city’s football squad.
FUTURE FOOD
According to the new breed of
restaurateurs, the future of food isn’t
fast. Italy’s pioneering Slow Food
organisation has instilled a fierce love
of local produce into the national
psyche. In Milan, the latest trend
combines indigenous eats with the
possibility to purchase the
ingredients on your plate.
The zone’s inaugural 50-storey
skyscraper has opened this year. It
was styled by Arata Isozaki, who
designed Doha’s Weill Cornell
Medical College but is more famous
in Italy for creating Turin’s Winter
Olympic Arena. A second twisting
tower, due to open in 2016, comes
courtesy of Anglo-Arabian architect
Zaha Hadid, the brains behind Qatar’s
FIFA World Cup stadium. Daniel
Libeskind, creator of New York’s new
World Trade Center, is building a final
skyscraper that curves sideways.

However, the best view of the city’s
new skyline comes from atop its
original ‘skyscraper’. A €7 (US$7.50)
ticket will grant you access to the roof
terrace of the Duomo, the 108m-high
cathedral in Milan’s central piazza.

neighbourhood to the snowy Alps.

But a global gathering of ‘starchitects’
isn’t the only news. What’s more
interesting is that the CityLife suburb is
almost entirely car-free. Residents are
encouraged to commute on two
wheels using Milan’s novel BikeMi
cycle-sharing scheme. A new driverless
Metro line runs below Zaha Hadid’s
tower. And a scooter-sharing scheme is
planned for later this year. For those
who must drive, an innovative
underground road system banishes
cars to a subterranean car park, part of
which sits under the newly built CityLife
public park.
EXPO2015 follows a long history of
Universal Expositions. The Great
Exhibition at London’s Crystal Palace in
1851 showcased a prototype fax
machine. New York’s World’s Fair in 1939
highlighted consumer technology from
disposable razors to Smell-O-Vision. This
year’s event from May 1 to October 31
has the theme of ‘Feeding the Planet,
Energy for Life’. In all, 140 nations will
exhibit ground-breaking future food
ideas, from vertical-wall farming in the
USA to desalination and reforestation
in Arabia.
It would take an entire week to touch,
feel, smell, and interact with all the 57
pavilions. But one of the highlights is
Qatar's souq-style building, which is as
colourfully dynamic as an Arabian market.
Green technologies are highlighted
inside a giant jafeer food basket. A roof
garden sits on top. Just save room for the
100 restaurants dotted throughout the
400-hectare EXPO grounds. Several are
managed by the Slow Food movement,
while gourmet outfit Eataly operates
20 others.
Taglio is one such hybrid. It’s a
ristorante (dishing up porcini-topped
risotto and raw beef tartare) on one
side, and an emporio (purveying
home-baked bread and stuffed tortelli)
on the other. So stocked is the
salesroom that stepladders are used to
reach the rows of Gragnano dried
pasta, Pugliese olive oil, and alpine
goats’ cheese.
Newly opened Eataly combines
15 different restaurants with a takehome selection of blowout picnic
proportions. A sustainable fish counter
sells (and serves) Mediterranean red
mullet and bucketloads of Adriatic
clams. The gelato store was the
Eataly, Milan
brainchild of Michelin-starred chef
Ugo Alciati. Milk from pasture-fed white
Piedmontese cows is blended with
Venchi chocolate for an A-list ice cream.
Seeking absolute authenticity? Then
stroll where the city’s Michelin-starred
chefs shop every other weekend.
Milan’s bi-monthly Mercato della
Terra, or ‘Earth Market’, takes over the
courtyard of the Fabbrica del Vapore
former railway factory. Sit at trestle
tables to try sambuca flower smoothies
or truffle and cheese sandwiches.

Educate A Child: Partnership with
education-based charity in Pakistan
Pakistan has a vibrant
and young population, 35%
of whom are below the age
of 15. Unfortunately though,
Pakistan is also home to the
second-largest out of school
population in the world. With
the partnership between EAC
and The Citizens Foundation
(TCF), the charity hopes to get
over 82,000 children off the
streets and into schools.
C
M

A classroom is a place that brims with
smiles, giggles, and sparkling eyes.
Shakir Ali is a student in one such class
at TCF School, Rehri Goth Campus. Like
any young boy his age, Shakir brims
with hope and innocence. What sets his
commitment apart is the fact that this
little boy walks 45 minutes every day to
reach his haven – his school. “I
sometimes tumble and fall while
coming to school, but I get up and start
walking again,” whispers Shakir with an
innocent, timid smile.
Shakir is just another example of the
thousands of children who have
benefited from TCF, an organisation
catering for the less-privileged children
of Pakistan.
Rehri Goth is a 300-year-old fishing
village on the Arabian Sea coast of
Karachi. Shakir’s father spends half of
the year at sea chasing his catch. Shakir,
at the age of nine, does his household
chores while his father is away, running
errands to the market to buy vegetables
and other things his mother needs. No
wonder Shakir shares with a dreamy look
in his eyes: “School is where I meet my
friends and play; I come here for them.”
His teacher, Beenish, tells us that
he is a bright child who likes listening
to stories. Every day during the story
hour Shakir is the first one to rush
and get a place near the teacher so
that he can listen to his favourite tale.
“Life is hard at his home,” says Beenish.
“Sometimes he doesn’t even have any
lunch to eat at school, so we arrange
something for him.”
TCF is one of the largest educationbased charities in Pakistan. Starting in
1995 with five schools in the urban
slums of Karachi, TCF had a simple yet
what seemed then a mammoth goal
of opening 1,000 schools. In 2014,
the organisation completed its
1,000th school, and now proudly
employs 11,500 staff members and
has since enrolled 145,000 students
across the country.
In many of the areas where TCF
now operates from, children had never
seen a school before. Multipurpose,
fully furnished schools, each with
a library, art room, play areas, and
essential facilities such as toilets,
running water and electricity, were
a huge success with children.
Qatar Airways is honoured to partner
with Educate A Child to bring access
to education to out of school children.

customised Ayurvedic techniques that you can use during your

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.
Deepak Chopra, M.D. is a bestselling author and the co-founder of
The Chopra Center for Wellbeing in California. For more information
on Ayurveda, meditation, and natural health, please visit chopra.com

PREGNANCY
You can travel by air:
up to 28 weeks into a normal
pregnancy; in later stages
of pregnancy, with a medical
certificate, up to 35 weeks for
a single child and 32 weeks
for twins.

Year of the Fleet at ITB Berlin
Qatar Airways celebrated the ‘Year of the Fleet’ during the recent ITB 2015
conference, after 12 months of significant expansion of the airline’s fleet.
The world’s largest tourism fair was
kicked off with the announcement by
Qatar Airways’ Group Chief Executive,
His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, that
Qatar Airways would extend its A350
XWB service throughout 2015, including
adding a second A350 XWB to the
airline’s Frankfurt route.
Highlighting the airline’s 10-year
anniversary of service to Berlin, Mr. Al
Baker said: “The last 12 months have
been characterised by significant fleet
expansion for the airline, which is set to
continue throughout 2015. This year we
are pleased to be able to offer our
passengers additional innovative new
products within our broad destination
network, most notably with the
introduction of the world’s newest
aircraft, the A350 XWB.”
In addition to the Frankfurt
announcement, Qatar Airways also
announced its new status as a Diamond
Elite Executive Partner with the Cruise
Lines International Association (CLIA),
a partnership that will yield a range of
benefits for Qatar Airways customers
including access to CLIA cruise lines and
travel agents as well as marketing
and promotional activities across
CLIA’s 15 offices around the world.
A host of exciting in-flight
product updates and developments
were also announced, including
the significant increase to Qatar
Airways’ in-flight entertainment
options and product offerings
including Italian-designed Missoni
sleeper suits in First Class and

Qatar Airways has announced a
major expansion in South Africa
with the launch of a new destination.
Effective from December 17, 2015,
the airline will launch four new
weekly flights to Durban via
Johannesburg, bringing the total
frequency to Johannesburg up
from 10 weekly flights to a doubledaily service.
Durban is home to a number of
major multi-national companies and
is also seen as one of the main
centres of tourism because of the
city’s warm subtropical climate,
extensive beaches, luxury resorts,
and adventure sports opportunities.
Qatar Airways Group Chief
Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar
Al Baker, said: “Durban is an important
gateway into South Africa and we are
very confident that this route will be
warmly welcomed like all our other
routes in the African continent.”

Qatar Airways’ existing codeshares
from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, Phuket,

From July this year, Qatar Airways will
add no less than three new destinations
in Pakistan to its expanding network:
Sialkot (four times a week beginning
July 16), Faisalabad (three flights a
week beginning July 17), and Multan
(three flights a week starting August 1).
The airline’s recent launch of service
to the Tunisian capital of Tunis was
bolstered by the decision to make the
destination part of the airline’s Boeing
787 Dreamliner route network.
Following the successful Qatari-Japanese
Economic Forum held in Tokyo, Qatar
Airways has reaffirmed its commitment
to its Japanese routes. Group Chief
Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al
Baker, said: “Since 2008, Qatar Airways has
transported close to 1.5 million passengers
on its flights to Japan, carried over 40,000
tonnes of cargo; and we are proud to
say that we have generated 25%
year-on-year passenger traffic growth

a strong recruitment drive.
Through its Al Darb Qatarisation
Programme, Qatar Airways recently
participated for the fourth straight year
in the Qatar UK Career Fair. Held in
London, the 8th annual fair provided
Qatari students in the United Kingdom
the opportunity to meet with a number
of Qatari companies in the hope of
securing a scholarship or full-time
position upon graduation.
His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, Qatar
Airways Group Chief Executive, said:
“We are very pleased to return to the
Qatar UK Career Fair for the fourth time.
Our participation in this annual event is
part of our continued effort to attract
new Qatari talent and introduce them
to the world of aviation, and the various
programmes and development and
employment opportunities that Qatar
Airways offers”.
Qatar Airways provides different
educational and training programmes:
in National Scholarship, Cadet Pilot,
Aircraft Maintenance Engineering,
Summer Internship, Graduate
Development, Massey University MBA,
Aviation Management, and Jossor
Programme.
The fair attracted more than 200
students over the two-day event, and
a Qatar Airways talent management
team were on hand to provide and
share expertise. Qatari students and
graduates attending the career fair
showed great interest in the Al Darb
Qatarisation Programme, and were
encouraged to sign up onsite with
available online facilities. Contracts
were signed with 30 nationals at
the event.
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.

Qatar Airways has one of the world’s youngest airline fleets, with an
average aircraft age of below five years. Narrow-body and wide-body
Airbus and Boeing variants operate a mix of short-, medium-, and long-haul
international routes. The airline has more than 330 new aircraft on order,
worth over US$70 billion, pending delivery over the next few years. This includes
an order for Boeing 787s, as well as for Airbus’ new-generation A380s (first
entered service with Qatar Airways in September 2014), A350s (first entered
service in January 2015), and A320 Neos, which will enter service in the near future.

• If you are flying with Qatar Airways, you
can easily arrange a visa on arrival by
booking a hotel stay for the duration of
your visit. Please visit the Qatar Airways
Holidays website for more information
and assistance.
| Using your e-gate card

VISAS, IMMIGRATION & SECURITY
| Getting an e-gate card
Documents and procedures for travelling to and from Qatar
| DEPARTURES
| Clearing passport control
• 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
(Gulf Cooperation Council), your
passport must be valid for at least six
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 before
you can proceed to the baggage claim
area. Such items will be confiscated,
and you will not be able to retrieve
them at any time.
• If you are a resident of a GCC country,
you are eligible for a single-entry visa
on arrival. The visa will only be issued
if your residence permit is valid for at
least six months, and if your profession
(as mentioned on your residence permit)
is eligible. Your visa will be valid for a
one-month stay in Qatar, and it can
be renewed for a further two months.
| ARRIVALS
| Paying your visa fee
Unless in transit, all visitors to Qatar require
a visa. Passengers from certain countries
are eligible for visas on arrival. For your own
convenience and comfort, please confirm
any requirements before starting your
journey.
| Visa on arrival
• Certain passports are eligible for a
single-entry visa on arrival. Please check
online at www.gov.qa. This is valid for
a one-month stay in Qatar.
• If you are a citizen of a GCC country
(Gulf Cooperation Council), you are
eligible for a single-entry visa on arrival.
Your visa will be valid for a one-month
stay in Qatar, and it can be renewed
for a further two months.
• The easiest way to pay your visa fee is
with your credit card; please approach
an immigration counter and present
your passport to make payment.
• If you would like to pay your visa fee
with cash, then you need to visit the
designated bank counter before you
approach an immigration counter. The
bank will charge a fee (QAR25/US$7) for
processing your cash payment. All major
currencies are accepted.
If you are a Qatari national, an expatriate
resident in Qatar, or a citizen of a GCC
country (Gulf Cooperation Council),
you can apply for an e-gate card by
visiting the Ministry of Interior office in
Al Gharafa (Doha) (see map on page 110).
| Solving problems
If for any reason you are denied entry into
Qatar, then the Ministry of Interior and your
airline will provide guidance and assistance.
Any items that are found at the security check

| Customs
| Getting a visa before you travel
• If you are not eligible for a visa on arrival,
then you need to arrange a visa before
you travel to Qatar. This can be done at
Qatari embassies around the world or by
booking a stay with a hotel in Qatar.
After you have collected your checked
baggage, you can exit the airport by
passing through Customs. There are
two Customs channels to choose from.
Please ask for assistance if you are not
sure which channel to use.
• Select the Green Channel
if you have ‘Nothing to declare’.
• Select the Red Channel
if you have ‘Something to declare’.
| Taxes and duties
You may need to pay taxes or duties
on items you bring into Qatar. Please
check in advance for more information.
| Things to avoid
• Do not follow the signs to ‘Arrivals’. If you
wish to exit the airport for any reason,
please approach the transfer desks for
assistance (see map on page 110).
• Do not be late for your onward flight.
Your boarding gate will close 20 minutes
before the flight departure time.
| Solving problems
| TRANSFERS
Transferring to your connecting flight is
easy and simple at Hamad International
Airport (HIA). Upon exiting your aircraft,
please go directly to our Transfers Hall.
Just follow the signs, ask at an information
desk, or use our airport map to find your way.
| Boarding passes, airport exits,
and queries
• Please approach one of our transfer desks
if you need any assistance with your
onward flight, including boarding passes,
re-scheduling flights, and general queries.
• If you have an extended stopover, and
would like to exit the airport to visit
Qatar before boarding your onward
flight, our transfer desks can assist you.
To avoid any disappointment or delays,
please confirm visas and immigration
requirements before you commence
your journey.
| Dining vouchers and lounge access
If your airline ticket entitles you to dining
vouchers, lounge access passes, or any
other complimentary coupons, your
airline may ask you to collect these from
our transfer desks (see map on page 110).
| Short connections
If your onward flight is departing in
less than 45 minutes, then we can speed
you through transfer formalities to help
you reach your boarding gate on time.
Please alert our ground staff as soon as
you exit your aircraft and walk onto
the airbridge, or as you board the
passenger bus.
If you have missed your connection, our
transfer desks will assist you with re-booking
a later flight. They can also help with
re-printing your boarding pass, upgrading
your travel class, and re-scheduling flights.
| Prohibited items
• As a transfer passenger, you may carry
alcoholic beverages in your baggage.
However, these must be packed in
containers of less than five litres.
• Please note, if you intend to exit the
airport and visit Qatar before continuing
your journey, then alcoholic beverages
cannot be brought into the country
under any circumstances. These will
be confiscated, and you will not be
able to retrieve them at any time.
