this month’s cover Qatar National Day celebrations at Souq Waqif.

Welcome Welcome to the December edition of Oryx magazine, the inflight magazine of Qatar Airways. Inside this edition, we take a celebratory look at Qatar National Day from inside Souq Waqif, Doha’s most renowned market and the beating heart of its heritage. As we navigate around the souq we discover an abundance of culture, tradition, and warm hospitality. Since joining the oneworld alliance on October 30, Qatar Airways has been busy branding its fleet of 135 aircraft with the oneworld logo. Oryx talks to Eirtech Aviation’s Andrew Richardson to find out what this involves. Oryx also takes a shopping trip to London to discover the best of British products, carrying the seal of approval from the Royal Family; and we visit the best toy stores in the world. We experience a cultural weekend away in Brussels, take in some Northern European winter experiences, spend 24 hours in ancient Hangzhou, and try some Lebanese baking recipes, as well as traditional holiday desserts from around the world. In our health and beauty section we round up our selection of luxury spas, beauty products, and techniques for a flawless look on a night out. As ever, we have a host of ideas for where to go and what to do in Qatar and across Qatar Airways’ ever-expanding network of over 130 destinations. Follow Qatar Airways on

The art of aircraft painting Photography by Donal Murphy Photography

With the whole of Qatar Airways’ ever-growing fleet of 135 aircraft being branded in celebration of joining the oneworld Alliance, Oryx flew to Dublin to meet with Eirtech Aviation’s Andrew Richardson and the Eirtech team in their bespoke, climate-controlled facility to find out how to re-paint a fleet of aircraft. How many people work on your team? This will vary depending on the actual condition of the aircraft and the process being applied on the particular shift. Typically, the team consists of a production manager, two team leaders, and 25–30 painters. The peak load of any event is at the start of the process while all of the preparation work, i.e. the sanding and chemical stripping, is being performed. What sort of space do you work in? Eirtech has over 20,000m2 of paint hangar capacity. The facility in Dublin where the oneworld® paint scheme was applied is referred to as a ‘wide body’ paint facility, meaning that it can paint aircraft up to the size of a Boeing 747 or Airbus A340. Alternatively, we can paint a number of ‘narrow body’ aircraft side by side. Is it a 9–5 job, or are there painting emergencies? Painting aircraft is a 24/7, 364-days-ayear job. We work day and night shifts and so can attend to any ‘emergencies’ as and when they happen.

oryxinflightmagazine.com

What kind of training does an aircraft painter require? It depends because there are many tasks involved in refinishing an aircraft. We tend to refer to ‘refinishing’ as this includes stripping, preparation, masking, cleaning, priming, and of course eventually ‘painting’. Typically the painters who apply the topcoat are the most skilled, as the appearance of the finished product needs to reflect the ‘brand’ of the airline and must look good. Often painters start their apprenticeship in the motor trade but also attend training held by the paint manufacturers.

What are the main tools of the trade? Of course the thing everyone thinks of is the spray gun but there are other tools too: preparation articles, paint agitators, and sealant mixing machines. The spray guns used by Eirtech are state-of-the-art electrostatic units. These guns place a positive charge on the paint particles at the tip, which attracts the paint directly to the aircraft surface. This reduces the amount of paint used and also reduces the amount of harmful emissions released into the atmosphere. When the aircraft is completed, specialised equipment is used for measuring the gloss of the aircraft (gloss meter), the thickness of the paint system (film thickness meter), and the overall texture of the paint system (wave scan meter). Is painting purely cosmetic? Absolutely not. Of course the gloss level and the surface appearance of the topcoat are important, but one of the main reasons for coating the aircraft is to protect it from the harsh environment through which it flies. Temperatures can go as low as minus 55°C in the air and as high as 50°C

qatar 19 Other than main airlines, what custom paint jobs have you been involved with? Eirtech are involved with many airlines all over the world. Often we are involved with lease companies where we have to paint aircraft into the new operator’s paint scheme. We are also involved in painting promotional paint schemes, such as the ‘Haribo’ aircraft. Do you just paint commercial aircraft? If so, what are the unique challenges faced? We paint all types of aircraft, including helicopters and military transport aircraft. These are painted matt camouflage and this presents its own unique application issues. It can be difficult to get a consistent ‘matt level’ across the aircraft. Matt paints also show hand marks, etc., so we must be careful with the aircraft once it is finished.

on the ground. The transition time from one extreme to the other is relatively short and this asks a lot of the paint finish. On top of that, the aircraft flies through hail and rain at high speed and this requires a durable finish. Aircraft use a variety of fluids, some of which can be aggressive to a normal finish, and lastly there is corrosion protection to think about. All in all, an aircraft has to be protected and look good, and all this in a very thin paint film (150 microns thick). What has changed over the past decade or so in terms of paint technology? Environmental factors have played a big part in shaping paint development. Products with fewer harmful ingredients are now commonplace, as is the drive

oryxinflightmagazine.com

to reduce the weight of the paint and prolong the durability of the paint finish. Are there any colours that are harder to apply? Some colours require an extra coat of paint compared to others, but the real difference in application is that of ‘special effects’ colours, which are either metallic or ‘mica’ (pearlescent). These require special application techniques to make sure that the special effect pigment orientates itself in the same direction in the paint layer. If this is not achieved the colour can look cloudy. Mica products are also more difficult to repair because you have to match not just the colour but the effect too. Luckily, Eirtech have a lot of experience in the application of special effect colours.

How is the paint tested? The tests that an aircraft paint scheme must pass are wide and varied. They are tested in combination with a primer and sometimes a Clearcoat as well as a pre-treatment for the substrate of the aircraft. Tests include fluid resistance, corrosion, flexibility, and durability tests as well as others. How are the tail fins and graphic devices applied? Sometimes graphics are used, but these are not as durable as the paint. Mostly we prefer to use a stencil and then apply paint to the stencil. Our customers will normally provide us with a drawing of the aircraft. We then use these drawings to make the stencils that are used for the branding of the aircraft.

How long does it take to paint a standard commercial aircraft? There are no real standards, but it depends on what needs painting, the paint scheme in question, and the size of the aircraft as well as the complexity of what we are painting. This could be anywhere between six days and three weeks. How much weight can paint add to a standard aircraft, and to the new A380? It is possible depending on the paint scheme to add a tonne of paint to an A380. The aircraft painting process can have a significant impact on the weight and balance of an aircraft. To establish the exact impact, Qatar Airways physically re-weighs the aircraft at the end of the event to determine exactly the change to the weight and centre of gravity of the aircraft. The process involves removing the fuel and all non-essential items like the magazines, meal carts, etc. from the aircraft and

world’s 5-star airline

qatar 20

then pulling the aircraft up onto a set of specialised scales: there is one for each wheel to determine the exact weight of the aircraft. What special finishes are used? The wing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;flapsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; have special abrasionresistant paints that have Teflon or polypropylene in them to resist the friction of one flap against another. Walkway paints with a silica in them that makes them non-slip are applied over escape routes, and erosion coatings are applied to radomes, etc. How long will an aircraft paint job last? With the new systems they are designed to last up to ten years, but the reality is that they are painted far sooner due to a number of reasons.

What’s in my travel bag Donna Karan

When travelling I always have my papier-mâché bag from Haiti. I sell them as part of my Urban Zen initiative, where we work with artisans, giving people jobs and bringing awareness to the country. We have the opportunity to help the developing work by helping them to create products.

Not only is the iconic fashion designer’s DKNY street-wear label synonymous with New York City, her Donna Karan brand revolutionised the way women dress. Karan spends most of her time traversing the globe, both for her multibillion-dollar eponymous labels and for her Urban Zen charitable foundation. Bali is my favourite place in the world. It’s my spiritual refuge, my calm in the chaos of my life. When I go there, I’m like a child, with all my senses awakened and alive. Creatively, I’m inspired by its lush, natural beauty and artisan culture. For me, just being in Bali is therapy for the soul.

oryxinflightmagazine.com

I carry my sketchbook with me everywhere I go, from fabric mills in India to visits with local artisans in Haiti.

I also like to carry a belt bag, such as the DKNY Lamb Leather Belt Bag, because it frees up my hands and I can feel it on my body so I know my belongings are always safe.

I don’t like to bother with too much make-up, but I do carry two essentials with me at all times – an Urban Decay eye pencil in black and MAC’s Freckletone lipstick. The DKNY cashmere Cozy is one of the most flexible pieces you could pack. It wraps around the body in any number of ways, always looking different. Wear it as a top, an easy jacket, or as a lightweight sweater at night.

How to apply eyeliner

Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner The product is ideal for a vibrant, stay-on result, and comes in a vast array of colours. Unlike other liquid eyeliners, it gives you a little more time to get the line just right before it dries and stays on for good. US$23 www.bobbibrowncosmetics.com

By Ayesha Khan Before you begin: Priming the eyelid with a concealer or a skin-coloured eye shadow is the best way to avoid eyeliner mishaps or clumps.

Dior Golden Winter Collection 5 Couleurs eyeshadow palette Dior’s bestselling eye palette offers a host of possibilities in a range of rich, versatile colours, including the smoky and shimmering shades of the new Golden Winter Collection in Golden Snow. Apply the lightest shade to the inside corner of the upper eyelid and a darker shade along the upper lash line. To finish, add a third colour to the corner of the middle lid and, for intensity and emphasis, apply another shade under the lower lash line. US$60 www.selfridges.com

Begin by tilting your chin upwards to get a good view of where the lash line begins. Starting at the outside corner of your eye, draw short strokes and work your way towards the inside corner. Make sure the line gets thinner as it reaches the inside corner. Smooth out any breaks in the line with an eye shadow in a similar colour and a liner brush. This will also help set the liner. If you don’t have a liner brush, the point of a cotton bud will also do the trick. If you’re also lining your bottom lash line, be sure that the two lines meet at the outer corner of the eye. For added drama: Fan out the top line a little further than the endpoint of the lash line. To top it off: Follow up with two coats of mascara for a complete, professional-looking eye.

Dominique and Henri Chenot are cult icons in the world of holistic healing and anti-ageing research. For more than four decades, Dr Henri Chenot has undertaken in-depth research into the factors behind ageing, and he was the first scholar to mention the impact that stress, pollution, and unbalanced eating can have on health and good looks, while his wife Dominique is a professor of aesthetics.

This silky-smooth and ultra-blendable liner mimics the velvety texture of the Indian kajal (kohl). The product is best used in tandem with Stila’s #4 liner brush, and comes in three colours. US$18 www.stilacosmetics.com

Fifteen of the most innovative solutions, ranging from practical devices to design and digital solutions, will be on display in dedicated, state-of-the-art pods where delegates will be able to hear firsthand from the individuals behind them.

WISH is critical to addressing the global healthcare challenges currently being faced worldwide, such as obesity, mental health, and end-of-life care. These concerns are shared by developed and developing countries alike – and all nations need to work together to find better, more innovative ways to keep people healthy and prevent illness. Leading voices at the Summit include Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser; Professor Lord Darzi of Denham, Director of the Institute of Global Health Innovation at Imperial College London and Executive Chair of WISH; and John Dineen, CEO of GE Healthcare. Mayor of London Boris Johnson and Aung San Suu Kyi will also address the distinguished gathering. Qatar’s Minister of Public Health, HE Abdullah Al-Qahtani said, “This Summit is an exciting event in the world of healthcare and builds upon Qatar’s pioneering role in areas such as robotic surgery and cardiovascular research. In learning from each other what

These fascinating ideas include a solar-powered water purifier developed in Sweden and used worldwide to improve access to clean water, and a motorcycle ambulance developed in the UK and used to navigate rough terrain throughout Africa and India, providing healthcare in hard-to-reach areas.

Fast-forward 133 years and Range Rover has just launched that knife’s automotive equivalent. The Range Rover Sport is surely the most capable and purposeful vehicle ever created. Capable of going from the racetrack to the outback, the Range Rover Sport’s breadth of ability is astonishing. It’s not at all utilitarian, however. Like its stablemate, the Vogue, the Sport’s interior is the epitome of ultra-modern luxury. With rich

metal accents, lush leather, and expert craftsmanship to completely embarrass its German competition, the Sport really has jumped a few rungs since its inception in 2005. The latest incarnation is some 420kg lighter and now lives up to its ‘Sport’ nomenclature. It handles exceptionally well for an SUV, but the remarkable air suspension allows you to take the path less known. A full 278mm of ground clearance and automatic suspension, traction, and engine calibration for any surface make this a formidable off-road machine. The pick of the line-up is the supercharged V8 ‘Dynamic’ model,

but any of them would happily nestle in any given garage. Yes, like a Swiss Army knife, the Range Rover Sport can accomplish a lot. Uniquely, though, it does it all well.

transforming your business Award-winning professional speaker Scott Steinberg is a bestselling expert on leadership and innovation, and the author of Becoming Essential. His website is www.AKeynoteSpeaker.com

Five ways to create better social media campaigns • Work in reverse: create measurable business objectives, then craft supporting messaging and tactics. • Spend 60% of your time interacting with fans, 20% sharing interesting content, and 20% talking about your brand/business. • Focus on driving and sustaining audience engagement – not simply boosting fan/follower counts. • Use photos, videos, and infographics to summarise complex topics. • Share content that saves customers time, money, or effort. Ask yourself: what’s in it for them?

Guggenheim Museum, New York

Let us set the evening aglow with a candlelit dinner. Let us imagine a feast that’s soothingly nostalgic or decidedly not.

UNTIL JANUARY 22 By mere description, Christopher Wool’s work doesn’t sound like the stuff of a feature exhibit, particularly at a locale such as New York’s esteemed Guggenheim. Wool’s work consists primarily of somewhat dour, black-and-white pictures of stencilled words, usually on aluminium panels and crafted in enamel; decorative patterns designed incised rollers; and various graffiti-like abstractions, provocative messes, utilising spray paint and silk screening. Yet he’s regarded by some as the most important US painter of his generation. The ongoing retrospective at the Guggenheim covers Wool’s three decades of artistic evolution – from pattern paintings to word pieces to more recent collaborations – much of which conjure an atmosphere of anxiety and hostility. Towards what, or whom, is open to interpretation.

@Gallerist “Christopher Wool’s paintings constitute a visual philosophy. A lot of what they are is defined by what they are not” @wmag “Are they accusing the viewer or society at large? Or maybe they could be read as a caustic self-portrait?”

Arabian nights

Out & about A day at the beach can be the perfect remedy for the stresses of city life, and Qatar has a coastline of over 560km, so there are plenty of beaches to choose from, many of them almost deserted. For an unlimited selection, visit Khor al Adaid, the ‘Inland Sea’, the tidal lagoon in the south of the peninsula that separates Qatar from Saudi Arabia. 4WD vehicles are required after the tarmac road ends at the Sealine Resort; after that it’s a quick run through majestic towering dunes to the lagoon. The haunt of pirates long ago, it’s bordered on the far side by rocky hills, flocks of flamingos are resident in its shallow waters, and dolphins and dugongs can sometimes be spotted.

Owing to its low density, inertness and unique lowtemperature behaviour, helium is used across a number of industries including medicine, astronomy, space travel, aviation and diving. It is also used in superconductors which is essential for the manufacturing of electronics. Here are some examples: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): Liquid helium’s use in MRI continues to increase as the medical profession accepts and develops new uses for the equipment.

Just desserts Words by Craig Butcher

At this festive time of the year, celebrated desserts from around the world come to the fore. Rich, sweet, and so typical of their origins, each one is as individual as its maker.

Mince pies – England Bûche de Noël – France

oryxinflightmagazine.com

What the French so elegantly call bûche de Noël is often known elsewhere simply as a yule log. Made with a rich yellow sponge, which is then frosted with chocolate buttercream and rolled in the style of a roulade, it is then topped again with chocolate buttercream. The pièce de résistance, however, is the way it’s served – one end is deftly sliced off and placed atop the main ‘log’, adding to the tree-like appearance. The effect is completed with a dusting of snow-like icing sugar and red berries.

Not to be confused with beef mince, nor large pies, this historic English snack is a festive-season mainstay. Originally filled with mincemeat in the 13th century, these pies were, by the late 19th century, much sweeter and celebrated recently discovered spices. A butter-pastry casing is filled with spiced raisins and currants in a sweet syrup filling accented with cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. They can remain ‘open topped’ or enclosed in a pastry lid and dusted with icing sugar. They are usually enjoyed hot, and often.

Certosino – Italy

Kourabiethes – Greece

The Certosino Christmas cake hails from the same northern Italian city that gave the world spaghetti bolognese, Bologna, and is named after the medieval monks of Certosa, who it‘s thought were first to make it. Also known as pan speziale or ‘spicy bread‘, it is similar to a Western European fruit cake, though drier. Often accented with star anise or cinnamon, Marsala dessert wine, and pine nuts, this round cake is steeped for several weeks, topped with candied fruits, and is enjoyed with a sweet dessert wine.

Buttery shortbread biscuits served throughout Greece, Turkey, and neighbouring regions, kourabiethes originate from 7th-century Iran. Shaped either into half-moon crescents or balls, these light desserts are often, but not always, flavoured with almonds.

Wild thyme pie

Visit oryxinflight magazine.com for this delicious recipe.

According to mothers in Lebanon, eating za’atar makes you wiser. That is why before an exam, mothers feed their children za’atar. It is said to stimulate the memory. Regardless of its credibility, the adage is definitely part of the Lebanese culture. To make this mixture is very satisfying. It can involve everyone in the family.

Barbara’s new book, Mezze: A Labor of Love is out November 28

Picking Wild thyme is found on hilltops and mountains all over Lebanon. The plant is distinctive and should not be difficult to find. Let your nose be your guide. The za’atar plant gives off a strong and very fragrant smell. Take sharp scissors or shears and cut the plant without touching the roots. Drying It is preferable not to dry the za’atar in direct sunlight for too long. This will burn the leaves.

Grinding In the past, the za’atar was reduced to a fine powder by grinding the dried plant with the hands. It was then pounded in a stone mortar. Today, it is easier to take the za’atar to a mill and have it ground to a fine powder. Mixing Blend the ground za’atar, the sumac, the sesame seeds, and the salt together. Storing Store the za’atar mixture in airtight containers with a couple of bay leaves to keep out insects. It should stay fresh for a year.

Visit oryxinflight magazine.com for this delicious recipe.

1. Blend the wild thyme mixture with the combination of olive and vegetable oil in a bowl. This mixture should have a cream-like consistency. 2. Spread the za’atar with the tip of a spoon on the prepared dough. For an even texture, use your fingertips. 3. If using the hot griddle or pan, let the dough form small bubbles before spreading the topping. The time of cooking depends on source of heat; 3 to 5 minutes is enough. 4.

The Taj Mahal is a mausoleum located in Agra and is one of the most recognisable structures in the world.

India’s Golden Triangle

Adventure in Muscat, Oman

The pleasant weather in February makes it a good time to visit the northern part of India. A recommended tour is the Golden Triangle, which includes the popular cities of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur, so called because of the triangular shape formed by the three cities on the map. The list of attractions is rich and varied in each city, including: Qutab Minar, India Gate, the Rashtrapati Bhavan, and Red Fort in Delhi; one of the wonders of the world – Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and Fatehpur Sikri in Agra; and palace tours in Jaipur.

Muscat is an ideal place to visit during February, and activities and attractions are abundant, both on land and at sea. There are a number of well-preserved cultural heritage sites, as well as dolphin-watching tours, fishing tours, desert safaris, mountain trekking, and other adventurous activities.

Festivities in Venice Apart from all the attractions of this wonderful city in Italy, February is also the month of the Venice Carnival, from February 15 until March 4. Party-goers don masks and costumes as they enjoy shows, boat pageants on the canals, costume contests, and musical and cultural nights.

Northern European winter experiences

People walk along ice sculptures on display in Sokolniki Park in Moscow, Russia.

Moscow Moscow is surrounded by wide, forest-covered landscapes that make for plenty of cross-country skiing options. Indeed, places such as Bitsevsky and Sokolniki Park, within the city limits, can be reached by metro. For perhaps the best cross-country experience, head to Izmailovsky Park, where you can meander under ice-encrusted birch trees on paths dotted with the footprints of squirrels and birds. HOW: Qatar Airways has 12 flights a week from Doha to Moscow.

Stockholm Travelling through the frozen forests of Lapland in far northern Sweden by dog sled is a great winter experience. In the ski resort of Kiruna – which lies on the same latitude as Greenland – tour companies run by indigenous Sami people will take you out behind a team of huskies across the tundra for a chilly but exhilarating ride. Even better, you’ll get the chance to see the Northern Lights, when the sky shimmers with eerie, phosphorescent light in one of the world’s most aweinspiring natural phenomena. HOW: Qatar Airways has daily flights from Doha to Stockholm.

Oslo If you want to give downhill skiing or snowboarding a go, head to Lillehammer – Norway’s oldest ski resort and host city of the 1994 Winter Olympic Games. The slopes of its Hafjell Alpine Centre cater for all levels of skiers, with one exhilarating run continuing for 7km. Lillehammer is also a notable cross-country ski centre, with 400km of tracks meandering across beautiful Hardangervidda Plateau, some of which are illuminated at night to magical effect.

Copenhagen Denmark is too flat for any serious skiing, but you can have your winter experience right in the capital at Tivoli Gardens, the famous amusement park created in 1843 and still a Copenhagen favourite. This year, the winter theme is based on Scandinavian and Russian Christmases, with traditional wooden huts and Christmas trees. Over 100,000 lights bring a sparkle to long winter evenings, and you can whirl across the ice rink like the Sugar Plum Fairy. You can also skate in the city’s main square, Kongens Nutorv.

HANGZHOU

oryxinflightmagazine.com

Once one of the largest cities in the world, today Hangzhou is not only an economic powerhouse but also one of China’s most popular tourist destinations. The ancient city has seduced travellers for centuries, including Marco Polo and Moroccan explorer Ibn Battuta, who visited in 1345, when many Arab traders lived in this important port city. Renowned for its stunning West Lake and its

tranquil gardens, Hangzhou was the imperial capital of both the Southern Song Dynasty and the invading Mongols. Modern Hangzhou is home to nearly seven million people and is one of the most important high-tech and manufacturing hubs in eastern China, but travellers are still drawn to its eclectic history, its rich culture, and the waters of ancient West Lake.

Words by Nick Walton

GETTING AROUND

water bus One of the more unique ways to get around Hangzhou is with the ferries, which ply the Grand Canal. The journey takes 30 minutes, with regular services between 7.30am and 6pm, with stops at the Wulin Gate, the Xinyifang Grand Canal Cultural Plaza, and the Gongchen Bridge.

A popular activity is watching the sunrise over West Lake with a pot of local Xi Hu Long Jing tea, one of the most famous blends in China. Arrive at one of the waterside teahouses early and watch locals’ fan dancing and t’ai chi.

Start your day off with a Hangzhou breakfast. This hearty breakfast includes eight – a lucky number in Chinese culture – ingredients. The best place to find this special dish is Hefang Street in Hangzhou’s old quarter.

Walk off breakfast with a visit to the Lingyin Temple, a Buddhist shrine. Founded in ad 328 and commonly translated as the ‘Temple of the Soul’s Retreat’, it’s one of the largest in China, famed for its grottoes filled with Buddha statues.

Get a new perspective on West Lake using public bicycles. Start from Huancheng Road and head across the Broken Bridge to the Su Di Causeway onto Gushan Island. Finish at Nanshan Road.

Head to Qinghefang Historic Street, famed for its Ming- and Qing-era architecture. Here, centuryold shops sell everything from Longjing tea and bolts of locally made silk through to street snacks.

The China Tea Museum is dedicated to the art and trade of China’s most historic teas. Learn the trading history of tea and its importance as a commodity. Watch traditional tea ceremonies.

See the Impression West Lake Show, a performance of local folklore created by Zhang Yimou that uses a stage built a few inches below the lake surface, as well as an army of lights, actors, and special effects.

Finish your day with the locals at the Wushan Lu Night Markets, home to everything from tea shops to pewter workshops. Don’t forget to haggle, as this is the place to hone your bargaining skills.

Hangzhou is relatively bicycle friendly, with many roads featuring designated bicycle lanes. A public-bike system similar to those in Europe is a convenient and cost-effective way to explore the city’s old town and extensive parklands.

Taxis are a convenient way to avoid the crowds of buses and to navigate the city centre. All taxis must use meters with the flag fall at RMB11. As few taxi drivers speak English, it’s a good idea to have your destination printed in Chinese in advance.

bus Buses are a great way to navigate the city quickly and affordably. All schedules and announcements are in Chinese, but there are several guide apps, which can help explain routes and timings, including Google Maps. Buses with a Y prefix are tourist buses and will take you to designated tourist attractions.

Rathausplatz, Vienna

By Brian Johnston

The host of Vienna’s main Christmas market is travel author Brian Johnston’s favourite square – if not actual street – for its evocation of a medieval marketplace and all the warmth of the festive season in a cold country. The month-long Christmas market on the Rathausplatz in front of Vienna’s elaborate town hall is the oldest and largest in Vienna. It’s the loveliest winter attraction in the city, brightening up long, dark afternoons and creating a magical atmosphere, says the globetrotting travel writer. Christkindlmarkt are a feature of many German-speaking cities and they have a long pedigree; Vienna’s was established by royal decree in the 13th century. The Viennese come to the market to socialise, shop for Christmas goodies,

which leaves your fingers covered in white from its dusting of icing sugar,” Brian adds.

“If you’re tired of shopping malls and looking for a traditional Christmas shopping experience, you’ll find it here,” says Brian. Cheerful wooden booths decorated with fir branches and red ribbons sell music boxes, pewter beer mugs, and hand-blown glass ornaments for Christmas trees. Lacework, felt slippers, and objects made from deer antlers are other typically Austrian goods.

Finally, don’t forget to wander into the adjacent Rathauspark, where trees are festooned with lights, and kids can ride on the merry-go-round, ponies, or the Christkindl Express. “It doesn’t get better if you have children: it’s like inhabiting a Christmas carol, right down to sleigh bells in the snow and chestnuts roasting on open fires.”

There’s no denying it’s cold, so Brian advises plenty of layers and a hot chocolate or mulled wine when Jack Frost nips at your toes. Warm your hands on a bag of roasted chestnuts, or sample other traditional Christmas foods such as nutmeg macaroons, apple strudel, and thick slabs of gingerbread stuffed with marzipan. “Look out for Stollen, a bread-like cake studded with candied fruit and nuts,

Qatar National Day

qatar 70 Qatar celebrates its National Day on December 18, and nowhere represents the true heritage of Qatar better than its capital’s most renowned market, Souq Waqif. Qatar National Day commemorates the day in 1878 when Sheikh Jassim succeeded his father Sheikh Mohammed Bin Thani as Ruler of Qatar and led the country towards independence. It’s a day for all Qatari citizens, expatriates, and visitors to reflect on the vision on which Qatar was founded and recognise how far it has come, whilst celebrating the country’s strong ties to its history and traditions. At the heart of Doha lies Souq Waqif, a communal meeting place that offers a window into a vibrant community with a rich heritage and glorious past. Historically, residents and neighbours

qatar 71 of the early Souq Waqif began to transform their homes into shops, building seemingly at random, until the souq gradually evolved into the narrow, irregular lanes of shops that you still find today. During the 1990s, as shopping complexes and commercialisation began to take precedence, the souq became old and dilapidated and began to lose its charm, and on top of this, a fire in 2003 destroyed part of the souq. In 2004, operations began to restore the souq to its original 19th-century state using traditional materials and methods. Today, Souq Waqif is an iconic landmark in Doha and embodies the rich heritage of the city. It is the ideal place to stay if you want to experience Qatar’s true culture and heritage, and the warm hospitality that the country is known for. Here, an exclusive collection of boutique hotels offers a rich variety of opportunities to experience true Qatari hospitality. Offering a tranquil retreat in the midst of the bustling city, each Souq Waqif Boutique Hotel was designed with its own distinctive décor, service, and dining options. The names of each of the hotels were selected to reflect Qatar’s history and culture: Al Mirqab, Arumaila, Al Bidda, Al Jomrok, Musheireb, Al Jasra, and Al Najada. They lie scattered around the souq, and will be our landmarks as we journey through. Al Mirqab Boutique Hotel is the gateway into Souq Waqif, standing at the southeastern corner of the souq, and features traditional Arabian architectural influences, such as whitewashed walls, arches, and latticework. Start your day here at Al Terrace Lebanese Lounge with Arabian coffee, served black and strong from elegant gold dallahs, with sweet khabees.

world’s 5-star airline

qatar 72

qatar 73 Near Al Mirqab lies one of the most popular areas of the souq, the Gold Souk – whose architecture reflects the classical heritage of ancient Qatar. Historically, Souq Waqif has always been a centre for the sale of pearls and gold in Qatar and it is now the only market in the country officially licensed to sell gold. The adjacent Craft Centre is an integrated handicraft centre with live demonstrations of diverse traditional crafts. Visitors can take part in workshops, where local artisans display their professional skills to teach the craft and keep the tradition alive, including traditional pottery techniques, pearl jewellery making, and creating coloured baskets and other products from straw. A little further on you’ll find yourself at the heart of the souq, where there is an array of speciality markets selling a wide medley of products from hand-woven carpets to traditional clothing and copper utensils. You’ll notice something different every time you walk through, and many of the products that you see can’t be found anywhere else in the country. Here in the vibrant centre of the souq you’ll also pass the understated Arumaila Boutique Hotel, with its traditional stonework façade that belies its modern interior. At the northern end of Souq Waqif you’ll find both the contemporary and chic Al Bidda, and the stylish and cosy Al Jomrok, both featuring interior design details inspired by Qatari heritage. Al Bidda enjoys a large inner courtyard, flooded with light from the multi-coloured glass skyline dome. Al Jomrok, meaning ‘customs’ in Arabic, was historically a customs office before it became a hotel.

oryxinflightmagazine.com

It has been fully restored to its original splendour, influenced by the surrounding architecture. Inside, the guestrooms take the name of the beloved oryx (which is also the Qatar Airways logo). From here you can wind your way through the nearby spice markets, which are a treat for the senses and an important part of traditional cooking, such as the traditional Qatari dish machbous, a stew of spiced rice with either seafood, meat, or both. There are several variations of the dish, but local machbous may feature cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice. Another popular stew-like dish is margooga, which has many of the same Eastern spices found in other Qatari dishes but includes heartier vegetables like aubergine and carrots. Steaming pots of these local dishes can be found at stalls and restaurants around Souq Waqif. Our next stop takes us around the corner from Musheireb – a majlis-style retreat – to the Arabian horse stables. Over time the Arabian horse adapted to its desert environment, resulting in qualities that makes it unique among all equine breeds. It is faster, requires less feed, lives longer, and has much more stamina. The Arabian horse played an important role in the founding of Qatar when, in 1893, Bedouin tribesmen and their courageous Arabian steeds, led by Sheikh Jassim bin Mohammed Al Thani, defeated the Ottomans in a battle that would eventually lead to Qatar’s independence. The stables also sit behind the neighbouring Al Jasra Boutique Hotel, from where you can visit the Falcon Souq. Falconry is one of Qatar’s traditions and many Qataris are devoted to the pursuit; it’s one of the

major sporting activities during the hunting season from October to March. There’s even a specialist falcon hospital here – the largest and most specialised falcon hospital in the world – where they carry out complex operations and in-depth research. Bringing centuries-old Doha into the modern world, Al Najada Boutique Hotel is an architectural gem crafted through the union of three 1930s Qatari homes, combining traditional luxury with renowned Arabian hospitality. Across from Al Najada is Al Koot Fort, built as a prison house in 1927. It was included in the restoration project in 2004 and has a number of rooms, observation towers, and old water wells. Just a few hundred metres from Souq Waqif is the Dhow Harbour. For a truly authentic Qatari experience, take in Doha’s spectacular skyline from a dhow cruise. Qatar National Day celebrations inside the souq include traditional dance and music performances; and a short walk from the souq, you can enjoy the Qatar National Day firework display on the Corniche. Alternatively, stay embraced by Souq Waqif’s charms and book a table at Al Matbakh Rooftop Grill at Arumaila for lively music and spectacular views over the Corniche and city skyline; or Al Jomrok’s rooftop lounge, where the relaxing lounge music completes the Arabesque experience and is a memorable way to mark the National Day celebrations.

My Qatar By Karen Martin

The Dhows For an authentic and memorable Qatari experience I would highly recommend taking a dhow cruise. Souq Waqif Boutique Hotels offer tours aboard their traditional Arabian dhows: Lusail 1, 2 and 3 from the Dhow Harbour on the Corniche, a short stroll from Souq Waqif. You can choose to take in Doha’s spectacular skyline by day or night; all tours can be tailored to suit guests’ preferences, from a day cruise with friends or a special family celebration, to a romantic candlelit dinner for two under the stars or a special sunset cruise. Delicious Arabic and international dishes are created by an on-board chef while you enjoy the background music.

Al Bidda Boutique Hotel The newly-opened Al Bidda has 19 rooms and 13 designer suites, most of which overlook historic Souq Waqif. The suites – the first in Doha with a duplex floor arrangement – offer an intimate private-chef barbecue dining experience on the outdoor terrace. Under the huge skylight in the hotel’s courtyard, you can enjoy traditional Italian cuisine of fresh homemade pasta and pizzas prepared in front of you, and the hotel’s patisserie shop offers fresh-from-the-oven cakes, pastries and European breads, including pralines, macaroons, petit fours, and warm croissants.

London resident Chris Anderson says that to discover the best home-grown products on a shopping trip to the capital, just look for the Royal Warrant.

london 78

london 79

London is a city full of fantastic shopping, with department stores and specialists catering for your every need. But how do you know that what you are buying is of an acceptable standard? If it carries a seal of approval from the Royal Family, then surely it must be good… My rule for shopping in London is simple: if I want to buy an item of quality and I am prepared to pay for it, then I will head to the areas of Knightsbridge, Bond Street, Savile Row, or Mayfair. It is here that many designer boutiques and upmarket specialists can be found. And often, if I am in a rush, I may go straight to the places that I know are guaranteed to deliver – those that have impressed the toughest reviewers of all: the Royal Family. It is easy to spot a shop that carries Royal Family approval, as it will display a Royal Warrant – a coat of arms awarded to it by the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, or the Prince of Wales.

To earn one, a company needs to have been supplying to the Royal Family for five years, and there are strict guidelines to ensure they make the cut. Warrants are often reviewed, so a company must maintain its levels of service, and the very best may even carry more than one. With such high standards involved, the Royal Warrant really is the ultimate seal of approval. With such an impressive reputation globally, Harrods, located on Brompton Road in Knightsbridge – London’s most famous luxury department store – is a good place to start any shopping expedition. Granted the first of its Royal Warrants in 1913, it specialises in a wide range of goods and services, from designer clothing brands to food. I can even book flights and discuss my travel needs there now that Qatar Airways has opened up an office on-site.

Some of the companies supplying their products to Harrods may also carry a warrant themselves, with their own boutiques elsewhere in the city. Burberry, for example, has a new flagship store on Regent Street and is worth experiencing for its interactive qualities, with certain clothes and accessories triggering video displays as you move around – no wonder the British designer has held a Royal

For something custom-made, the Royal Family will most likely head to Gieves & Hawkes at No. 1 Savile Row. The tailor has been at this prestigious location since 1912, but was in business much earlier, with George III the first monarch to award it a warrant in the early 19th century. Today it holds three, from the Queen, Prince Charles, and Prince Philip, and has even supplied to royalty overseas. When one looks the part of a royal, then one can eat like a royal. Fortnum & Mason is a huge food department store in Piccadilly, formed in 1707, with warrants dating back 150 years – co-founder William Fortnum was even a footman in Queen Anne’s royal household. The Queen may get most of her food shopping here, but for something special she may visit Prestat, a chocolatier located nearby, established in 1902. The company, also a favourite of author Roald Dahl, sends the Queen a handmade 4lb chocolate Easter egg every year,

be her nephew, with a shop in Mayfair. This will be as she peers through spectacles provided by Robert Pope, from its store near Harley Street, granted a warrant in 2006.

In fact, the royals must spend a lot of time in Piccadilly, as there are other businesses with warrants nearby. For something to read, there is Hatchards, founded in 1767 and the oldest bookstore in the UK, with Oscar Wilde and Lord Byron among its previous customers. Or for sporting goods, head to Lillywhites, with equipment for every conceivable royal pastime, including polo and skiing.

Exploring this list of vendors may seem like hard work, but a visit to Jack Barclay London in Mayfair could take some of the strain away. As the world’s oldest and largest Bentley dealership, open since 1927, this is where to get your hands on any of the current offerings from the warrant-equipped car manufacturer, although a replica of the Queen’s State Limousine is probably off-limits. The alternative would be to relax at the Ritz-Carlton in Piccadilly, which became the first hotel to receive a Royal Warrant in 2002, granted by Prince Charles for its banqueting and catering services. If its famous ‘Tea at the Ritz’ is that good, then I know which one I’d be choosing.

If working up a sweat is called for, then it is wise to have some custommade scents for the cool-down afterwards. Floris is located on Jermyn Street just a short walk from Piccadilly Circus, and offers a wide selection of perfumes and other products. It received its first warrant in 1800, and some believe that the sealed-off tunnels in its basement may actually lead directly to Buckingham Palace. The Duchess of Cambridge bought some Night Scented Jasmine from the store earlier in the year, while its records show that in 1959 a bottle of its Rose Geranium was sold to Marilyn Monroe. But the royals never forget their suppliers, and often send the vendors thank-you notes – no doubt written on personalised stationery from Smythson of New Bond Street, established in 1887. It is even possible to picture the Queen writing these, sitting on bespoke furniture created by designer David Linley, son of the late Princess Margaret and photographer Lord Snowden, and who also happens to

although its dark chocolate wafers are said to be her favourites – it was granted its warrant by the late Queen Mother in 1999, and was the last one she awarded before her death.

Over 250 years old, Hamleys in London is a British institution, and its flagship store in Regent Street is a spectacle, with seven floors of toys and games. The theatre of the store comes alive from the entrance as you are welcomed in from the street, and inside you are met with the squeaking, bleeping, whizzing, and chiming of toys all around and overhead. Time-honoured toys jostle for space amongst the latest gadgets and trends, and toys are often out of their boxes – brought to life by staff who play all day and encourage children to play along. The largest Toys“R”Us store, in Times Square, New York, boasts over 10,000m2 of space. Toys, trains, board games, video games, and much more fill the shelves at this enormous emporium, with dedicated areas for interactive play, and boutiques displaying the hottest toys and electronics; but the flagship store is also home to a 60fthigh Ferris wheel; a two-storey, life-size Barbie doll’s house; and a 6m-tall animatronic T-Rex from Jurassic Park. Also in New York, the FAO Schwarz flagship store, the oldest toy store in the USA, attracts millions of visitors annually. The only one of its kind, it has been offering a vast array of playthings, including a range of toys unique to the store, for more than 150 years. Created to be a magical toy emporium that would ‘bring toys to life’, every trip to FAO Schwarz begins with a greeting

from the store’s real-life Toy Soldiers, ushering eager customers inside. Filled with every toy imaginable, from the traditional to the latest craze, kids and kids-at-heart also come here to relive an iconic scene from the movie BIG on the oversized piano in the Grand Hall. Japan’s biggest toy store is Kiddy Land, and its flagship store, located in Harajuku, Tokyo, immerses its visitors in Japan’s kawaii (cute) culture. The five-storey building is virtually a theme park of character goods, with speciality shops and corners dedicated to different characters. These include: Snoopy Town Shop Harajuku, carrying all the familiar faces from the cartoon Peanuts; PrismStone, an interpretation of the shop in the anime Pretty Rhythm: Dear My Future; Toys Wonderland, with action figures, LEGO and more; Rilakkuma Store Harajuku, featuring the popular cuddly bear character; and Hello Kitty Store Harajuku, featuring one of Japan’s iconic characters and including limited-edition items that can only be found at the Harajuku store.

Fly Healthy, Fly Fit Qatar Airways and The Chopra Center for Wellbeing offer you customised Ayurvedic techniques that you can use during your flight (and at home) to feel more balanced, healthy, and relaxed. Download Chopra‘s travelling tips at www.qatarairways.com

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.

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.

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.

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:

HEALTH ADVICE

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.

Celebrating 10 years of flying to China, Qatar Airways this month adds its seventh route to the country, beginning a four-times-a-week service to Hangzhou from Doha, effective December 20. This non-stop service to the Zhejiang Province capital offers access to China’s fourth-largest metropolitan area, known for its rich history and picturesque scenery. “This year we celebrate 10 years of flying to China,” said Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker. “The addition of our seventh route in China will provide additional connectivity for business and leisure travellers connecting from Asia, the Middle East, and GCC countries. Just two months after the launch of the Chengdu service, we are able to offer our passengers even more options for flying into China with the addition of Hangzhou.” One of China’s top tourist sites, Hangzhou is known by many appealing nicknames, including ‘Paradise on Earth’,

‘Home of Silk’, and ‘Tea Capital’. Visitors will delight in taking in sights such as the enormous land-and-water park at West Lake where more than 30 key cultural relics are contained, the historic Linying Temple dating back to more than 1,600 years ago and encompassing more than 1,300 rooms, and the National Silk Museum, which provides insight into the 5,000-year-old tradition of silk development. Hangzhou will be Qatar Airways’ 12th new destination this year, joining Gassim (Saudi Arabia), Najaf (Iraq), Phnom Penh (Cambodia), Chicago (USA), Salalah (Oman), Basra (Iraq), Sulaymaniyah (Iraq), Chengdu (China), Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), Ta’if (Saudi Arabia), and most recently Clark Manila International Airport (Philippines).

Qatar Airways was named Best Business Class at the esteemed Business Traveller Awards 2013 (UK edition), held at London’s Royal Garden Hotel in October. Based on votes by readers of Business Traveller magazine, the publication’s annual awards are widely recognised as the market’s benchmark for excellence. Readers based their voting on the strength of the airline’s customer service, its route network, and services. Paul Johannes, Qatar Airways’ Vice President Commercial North, South, and Western Europe, said “We are pleased to have been recognised by our passengers for our high-quality Business Class product. It is an honour to win this category against such strong competition and we would like to thank everyone who voted for us.” The honour comes shortly after readers of Business Traveller Asia-Pacific voted Qatar Airways as the Best Middle East Airline, taking home the award for the fourth consecutive year.

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.
