I am reaching out to express some concerns about the Doha to Durban (DOH-DUR) route, which I have been flying regularly for almost five years. Over time, I have noticed a decline in both the quality and reliability of this service, including a reduction in the attentiveness and efficiency of the cabin crew. I am hoping that sharing this feedback can help improve the travel experience for all passengers on this route. Recently, I have observed that the aircraft used for the DOH-DUR route appear to be older models, which frequently encounter technical issues. These issues often compromise passenger comfort and, on some occasions, result in delays. Furthermore, the flight duration has significantly increased, making this journey more challenging for regular travelers like myself. I understand that maintaining a global fleet can be complex; however, Qatar Airways has built a reputation for excellence, and I believe that updating the aircraft on this route to more reliable, modern models would greatly enhance passenger satisfaction and reduce the likelihood of technical delays. I look forward to seeing improvements on the DOH-DUR route and to continuing to fly with Qatar Airways with greater comfort and reliability.

Embark on an unforgettable journey through the heart of Saudi Arabia amidst its magnificent deserts, where adventure meets tradition and nature unfolds in all its splendor. Picture yourself racing across endless sand dunes, feeling the exhilaration of dune bashing—a thrilling escapade that unveils the essence of our landscapes. Off-roading here transcends mere recreation; it's a blend of exploration, adrenaline, and a deep connection to the desert's timeless allure. At the center of this adventure lies the Rub’ al Khali, or the Empty Quarter—the world's largest continuous sand desert, spanning a staggering 650,000 square kilometers across Saudi Arabia, Oman, the UAE, and Yemen. Here, towering red sand dunes, some soaring up to 250 meters, form an awe-inspiring backdrop. The Empty Quarter isn't just a geographical wonder; it's a realm of unparalleled natural beauty and profound isolation, offering an unparalleled and tranquil experience amidst its expansive, uncharted landscapes. #saudiarabia #vision2030

Did not expect this, given their current task: The Line, I didn’t think there was this much planned for this particular location. Please concentrate on getting a complete build is my main request. This looks cool but even with the resources at hand, it’s spread to thin, it’s better to get things done. This is my professional opinion. Would also prefer to see documentation and marketing of the construction build in action. #sustainability #luxury #construction #neom #build #nature #desert
